It's only a matter of time before he runs for office as Trunp 2.0.

He is white, male, and rich, what does his religion have to do with his obnoxious stance?

My point obviously is that he uses his status in a minority religion as a convenient cudgel and to justify his behavior.

Would you say the same about a wealthy black donor who decided to speak up and refuse to continue donating upon the discovery that the university had no problem with protesters screaming ugly things about black people and allowing black people to be harassed? We'll wait while you twist yourself into a pretzel, trying to answer.

Um, white American jews aren’t minorities and have never faced hardships remotely close to the history of American blacks.

Please share the struggles silverspoon Bill and his family tree ever experienced. His late dad Lawrence was born in 1939 in NYC to already rich parents, who sent him to what is now a $55K day school (Riverdale) back in the 1940s. His grandfather Herman was a rich real estate executive who retired to Palm Beach and netted a NYT obit. Mollycoddled Bill is like 150 plus years removed from any potential family or ethnic hardships. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/12/06/obituaries/herman-ackman.html

So basically what we have with Bill Ackman and other legacy admits to Ivys is affirmative action for the wealthy, mostly white elites.

Her doctoral dissertation should be rescinded and therefore her doctoral degree as well. She will be a fake doctor just like Jill.

And you want Gay’s revoked too? So Gay then loses any ability to work in academia? Please clarify.

Por supuesto

Okay, that’s a reasonable position to take, then.

Look, no one is denying that Gay is a plagiarist. It’s just that whomever is chasing down these cheaters must have a clean slate themselves. If the wife of this dude is a plagiarist, he may not be in the best position to judge.

Everyone in academia knows that everyone makes insignificant paperwork errors like these two. The bad faith media conflates misplaced quotation marks with copying a whole research result.

Undergrad teens are expelled or at the very least suspended for one year for doing what his wife is credibly accused of.

In the other thread we were repeatedly told by Gay’s defenders that Harvard undergraduate students were never expelled or suspended for plagiarism like Gay’s. So, I’m a little suspicious that far less plagiarism than Gay would cause a suspension or expulsion.

This was almost 30 years ago, standards were higher then.

To put this into perspective, check out these stats:

"Harvard gives preference to applicants who are recruited athletes, legacies, relatives of donors and children of faculty and staff. As a group, they make up less than 5 percent of applicants, but around 30 percent of those admitted each year. About 67.8 percent of these applicants are white, according to court papers."

Unless you're a megadonor's kid, they will not hesitate to railroad a teen undergrad for this.

Whether or not this is true, she is not the president of an academic institution who cited that condemning threats to a group of people at an organization that she was responsible for depended on the context.

No comparison. Again, what-about-ism is astonishing. That’s all you folks can do. Schoolyard chants and ridiculous “I know you are but what am I” retorts. Rah rah team

You are mad that one of your "academic superstars" got caught. And she was supposed to be a talented one. . . Damn, lets dig up a little more.

What precisely makes her a academic superstar? Absolutely nothing. Something very strange about this unimpressive bozo becoming a famous academic, hobnobbing with Brad Pitt, then marrying a billionaire and now has this rich schmuck under her spell.

Oligarch bully Bill Ackman wants one standard for Black academics but a different standard for his trophy wife.

Well all the people associated with the story will now be on a black listed. Ackman has a long enemies list. Wonder Katherine Long, Jack Newsham, and Narimes Parakul will never work again. All hail Israel!

And the US is roughly 58% white, so 67.8 % is not too out there. Moreover, if you consider the makeup of these preferred applicants, my guess is that whites make up more than 58% and probably more than 67.8%. Not issue here.

He is so unhinged on twitter all weekend. He sure isn't a fan of getting a taste of his own medicine.

I think the more telling statistic is that 30 percent of admitted students are legacy admits. Remember that anti-DEI proponents like Ackman believe that admissions should be solely on the base of "merit."

He's certainly not very mature or self-restrained. I can't believe he doesn't employ or listen to a PR expert who can help him manage his tweets and public response better. I guess when you're that rich you don't really care--except that he does care and very much wants to control the narrative.

He wants to tell everyone what to think and believe, no matter the truth.

People like that are dangerous megalomaniacs.
