He announced yesterday via Twitter/X plans to investigate every professor at MIT for plagiarism.
And Sally thought she dodged the bullet.
If they did not plagiarize public documents they published, they have nothing whatsoever to fear,
Right?

No it was about not being pro Israel enough. You can never be pro Israel enough. Plagiarism is okay for Ackman’s wife but not for a non Jew in a position of power at an Ivy League. We can look at the example of Yale.
So you think plagiarism is alright? No big deal?
Well, Ackman seems to thinks plagiarism is alright and no big deal - in certain circumstances, of course. Since he's holding the pitchfork and torch, can we just apply his own shaky methods and deem it OK for those we like, but not OK for those we don't care for?
PP here. That's not what I asked. I asked if you think plagiarism is alright. Do you work at Harvard? Harvard should care if anyone attending/instructing there or leading their institution plagiarizes.
Obviously you want to find a convenient, tidy justification for the unhinged witch hunt that buffoon went on for absurdly transparent reasons that had nothing to do with academic integrity.
Obviously, you think plagiarizing other people's work is acceptable.
Just following Ackman’s lead.
If you think plagiarism is wrong and dishonest, then you wouldn't follow anyone's lead -- whether it be Ackman, Trump, or anyone else.
Characterizing what Gay did as plagiarism is laughably absurd.
Now what Oxman did, and who she associated with?
Really? When I was in college, we had an honor code. Copying paragraphs was viewed as cheating/plagiarism and worthy of expulsion.
Except Gay didn't copy paragraphs, or copy anything. She neglected to insert quotation marks, making no effort to represent the words as her own. But carry on with the propaganda campaign because she did, after all, fail to bow down and cower before the sacred cow. And for that, maybe she should have been made to pay an even greater price, right? Right?
Sure. Just a few quotation marks, footnotes, and citations are missing -- that's all!
Code of the Road
She was the President of Harvard.
I'm less moved by that fact than I am by the fact that the wife of the clown who led the Gay witch hunt has been found to be an even more egregious plagiarizer.
Sometimes, the universe DOES provide.
There was a time when this forum would have exploded over someone blaming the wife of the man who did something. Wonder what is different in this case.
Because she plagiarized, that woman is a b!+ch ! - which renders all of her husband’s viewpoints invalid, of course.
See how that works? (or doesn’t).
I think there's a simpler explanation. When you are a public figure or become prominent/controversial enough, you (and, by proxy, your immediate family) open yourself to increased scrutiny. I don't think it's much deeper than that. It is interesting though, how many of these academics have plagiarized and only got caught because someone finally took the time to actually review their work. It makes me question how many prominent academics are guilty of the same but just haven't experienced this yet.
+1 a lot of fakes out there posing as smart academics
My guess is that if you took ALL Ph.Ds from the top 50 universities, the fake/plagiarist/cheater/academic dishonesty etc. would be at least 50-60% of the entire Ph.Ds granted from those schools.
Any cheaters/plagiarists' doctoral degree should be taken away.
PP here. Totally agree with removing /taking away degree.
Depends. Improper citation not so sure. Outright plagiarism yes.
I love how worked up non-PhD get over this. As if they had the perseverance to ever do a PhD… lulz
Yeah right, so hard to search through old studies and obscure articles to plagiarize. Seems to be so many professors and grad students that we've run out of original thoughts and ideas.

The entire administrative group of race grifters involved with 'DEI' number in the dozens just at Harvard alone consuming millions a year to push unqualified DEI applicants for administrative and faculty positions. Administrative bloat has increased some 60 - 70% at the top 75 universities in the past 20 years and has accounted for about 40 - 50%% of the cause of the insane college tuitions' increase in the last 20 years.
