Bill Ackman forgives wife for plagiarism

Which, while problematic, is completely different from the Harvard President. Indeed, if that’s all they happened, it just shows how egregious the Harvard president’s plagiarism was.

And she apologized *immediately,* rather than obfuscating and denying and blaming the accusations on "racism" or whatever -ism of the day is fashionable.

When Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama, Trump staff bizarrely blamed Hillary Clinton. I don’t believe there was a formal apology from Trump HQ.

Shame on Ackerman for inciting all the racist bile sent to Gay.

Soo... by calling her out for her antisemitism and plagiarism, he somehow "incited racist bile"? How's that work? Are POC somehow off-limits from criticism? So interesting.

What a joke!

Harvard should re-instate Ms. Gay.

Seriously? Talk about a joke.

If the spouse of some muckety muck is relevant to anything, you know you have messed up as an organization

And the Harvard Board is clearly messed up.

And of course Ackman's wife was never president of Harvard, which you'd think would expect the highest academic standards of its president.

13 years after the fact. Man, STFU.

Penny Pritzker at Harvard is richer than he is. I wonder if she will continue to push her DEI views there, or if she's been chastened by this whole lamentable experience?

Why do people keep throwing random cr*p into this forum? Brad Pitt? Penny Pritzker? Yelling girl? DEI? Campus mobs?

Is Bill Ackman is hypocrite or not?

No comparison.

Excuses, excuses. Rules for thee, not for me.

Indeed! May he who is without sin throw the first stone. It is tiresome that these big money white guys can exempt themselves from the rules because filthy Americans idolize money over everything.

Has he been shown to have plagiarized papers?

The person he sleeps with is. Time to get rid of the plagerizer.

This guy is everything wrong with the world and a prime example of how money corrupts the mind and the soul. He demonstrates zero intellectual or moral consistency in his positions, and DEI only matters to him if it's about antisemistism but not for anyone else. Other than his Judaism he is your basic privileged rich white guy who thinks he is smarter than everyone else and that the world should revolve around him. 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?

There is a whole thread on Harvard's president resignation.

This one is about the hypocrisy of Ackman instantaneously forgiving his wife just hours after finishing off the other lady.

Echoes of Harvey Dent?

but I was just pointing out the two cases are completely different, largely because of the positions of the two women. If Ackman's wife was president of MIT, she probably should have resigned also.

Ackman's wife was a tenured professor of MIT and then left after she married a billionaire. She plagiarized four times in her MIT doctoral dissertation. It's a big f#cking deal in her professional circles.

American proles love a cold dish of egg-on-their-face served up to a bunch of mouthy elite rich people. The irony is so rich given that Ackman was frothing at the mouth for a week straight about Gay's plagiarism.

To point this out does not excuse Gay. But it does show that sometimes its best to not join the mob, lest you draw attention to the sins within your own house.
