He announced yesterday via Twitter/X plans to investigate every professor at MIT for plagiarism.

And Sally thought she dodged the bullet. [/quote]

If they did not plagiarize public documents they published, they have nothing whatsoever to fear,

Right? [/quote]

+1[/quote]

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.[/quote]

So you think plagiarism is alright? No big deal?[/quote]

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Obviously, you think plagiarizing other people's work is acceptable. [/quote]

Just following Ackman’s lead.[/quote]

If you think plagiarism is wrong and dishonest, then you wouldn't follow anyone's lead -- whether it be Ackman, Trump, or anyone else.[/quote]

[b]Characterizing what Gay did as plagiarism is laughably absurd.[/b]

Now what Oxman did, and who she associated with?[/quote]

Really? When I was in college, we had an honor code. Copying paragraphs was viewed as cheating/plagiarism and worthy of expulsion.[/quote]

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?[/quote]

Sure. Just a few quotation marks, footnotes, and citations are missing -- that's all!

[/quote]

Sure like it’s about that. She is the wrong gender, wrong religion and wrong color. It’s all for Israel. Those anti woke, anti DEI warriors are alway out there fighting antisemitism and promoting Jews. If push came to shove I bet they would let one or two in to their country club…not.[/quote]

Have you ever been in the room when major hiring decisions were made? Clearly not. What does qualified even mean? You don't know if she's great with the board, parents? A huge fundraiser? A research darling. It's impossible to determine merit in these hires. There is a list of all types of characteristics that boards look for. It's not up to you to decide.

Are you saying of all those groups, she was the very best and the most qualified? That's pretty sad. .[/quote][/quote]

Then why are you crying tears that she was the wrong x, y, or z? Clearly has nothing to do with any of those qualities.[/quote]
