I don’t really understand this. She’s not his employee or something. They’re married. What do you want him to do, make her sleep on the couch?

Just realize there are undergrads who are expelled for doing this and even less. Undergrads whose life trajectory was changed due to plagiarism. Undergrads who weren’t able to earn degrees.

Do these undergrads also need to sleep on the couch with Ms. Oxman? Or do they need to be reinstated and take an ethics class from still tenured Professor Gay?

Clearly, Oxman’s been caught and we know she’s a fraud. Because of the level absurdity of her plagiarism, I would question any of her degrees. Ackman knows this.

This is so ridiculous. Ackman leads the “anti woke/anti DEI” charge by attacking people as antisemitic.

The anti woke movement wants to call people the n-word, push Nazi ideology, etc but opposes antisemitism? lol

Ackman is the woke mob.

You have seen she statements? She says it was only four paragraphs out of 300 pages. So everyone is being unfair to her…after all she is not a DEI hire or student.

I am not saying she’s a Mossad honeypot, but as an avid reader of Ian Fleming novels, she sure checks a lot of boxes……

Her thesis advisor - William J Mitchell - died the same month he supposedly “certified” her thesis. 😳

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Mitchell

He died June 11, 2010.

Her thesis was certified by Mitchell and defended in June 2010. wtf….

Oy. This is glowing, to put it mildly.

A couple of isolated instances of plagiarism in a several-hundred-page document would not result in expulsion. Expulsions only happen when plagiarism is extensive and original ideas are claimed as one's own. Doesn't sound like that was the case with Oxman or even Gay. Not excusing "borrowing language" but that often reflects sloppiness rather than actual theft of ideas. I've learned I need to put quotes around attractive language I record in my notes as a prompt to paraphrase and include a cite when I return to it. When I first started out, I thought I would remember I hadn't paraphrased and what needed to be cited. After reading a ton of sources and sometimes working very quickly, I didn't always. I learned I had to be meticulous in my note-taking in order to avoid that issue. Whenever I've seen a student expelled, it's because all or nearly all of the work is directly copied from another source without attribution. Not like Oxman lifting appealing phrases without a footnote then listing the source in the bibliography. If I noticed a student doing that, I would remind them to be more precise in citations and ask them to correct rather than report them for academic integrity adjudication. The latter is for papers that are largely just copied and pasted from another source, with a few words changed. That's plagiarism 101. The context matters and assessment of these cases needs to be precise. That's why committees are formed to investigate these kinds of accusations in significant detail.

Um, Oxman lifted entire Wikipedia pages, there is absolutely no excuse for this especially at a doctorate level from MIT! I can guarantee lilliputians such as myself wouldn’t get away with this.

Has her gullible dork husband hired a team of crisis pr to Google her name and “correct the record”? This is all hilarious.

Dude doesn’t know when the just shut up. Blowing himself up and taking down his wife#2. Mind boggling.

The problem isn’t just that he doesn’t know when to shut up. The problem is that he is using his wealth and reputation to go after people he doesn’t like and impose his will on others. Why aren’t more of us outraged that the billionaire class—of any political persuasion—has become so powerful ?

What is he doing beyond tweeting?

Apparently building a whole artificial intelligence company specifically to search out plagiarists at universities and newspapers. Starting with MIT the the newspaper tat outed his wife.

But the damage is done. He took down his own wife. He just looks like a clown now.

Except no-one cares about his wife's dissertation, and she is no longer in academia.

If Bill is so invested in academic integrity he should care. If anyone should care it’s him. Oh and her PhD should be revoked.

If Oxman really is guilty of plagiarism, I honestly don’t see how MIT can continue to honor her PhD. If they just let it slide, it would destroy their academic reputation.

Because if they revoke hers, they will end up revoking the PhDs of most of their professors. And they know it.

You’re full of it. Not everyone is a fraudulent grifter. This woman was never a serious academic. Who admitted such a dunce to an MIT PhD program in the first place?

Everyone is wondering how in the hell does a person get to a doctorate level and be blissfully unaware that not only is plagiarizing wrong but direct plagiarism from Wikipedia? How does that happen? I have known students who were expelled from undergrad for less serious offenses. This is insane.

Idk. Ask former president Gay.

I’d like to hear from both Gay and Oxman. Though Gay didn’t plagiarize directly from Wikipedia so that’s something. Wikipedia didn’t even exist then. Oxman’s plagiarism is more recent and more juvenile which is so rich coming out of MIT of all places.

Oxman had 32 instances of plagiarism in her thesis alone: the initial 4 passages in the Friday article + about 28 instances in the follow up Saturday article.

I mean, that’s insane. It’s as if no one at MIT reviewed her thesis.

I think Oxman’s thesis advisor was hypoxic or demented when he approved this.

That is antisemitic.

I hear Oxman is the leading candidate to replace Gay. This little hiccup will go away once she is the president of Harvard.
