Claudine Gay must resign again
By 
Here’s another case that will surely cause Highly Principled believer that failing to sufficiently paraphrase cited-but-not-directly-quoted in past academic work is a fireable offense Bill Ackman to start another crusade:
Billionaire hedge fund manager and major Harvard donor Bill Ackman seized on revelations that Harvard president Claudine Gay had plagiarized some passages in her academic work to underscore his calls for her removal following what he perceived as her mishandling of large protests against Israel’s bombardment of Gaza on Harvard’s campus.
An analysis by Business Insider found a similar pattern of plagiarism by Ackman’s wife Neri Oxman, who became a tenured professor at MIT in 2017.
Oxman plagiarized multiple paragraphs of her 2010 doctoral dissertation, Business Insider found, including at least one passage directly lifted from other writers without citation.
Her husband Ackman has taken a hardline stance on plagiarism. On Wednesday, responding to news that Gay will remain a part of Harvard’s faculty after she resigned as president, he wrote on X that Gay should be fired completely due to “serious plagiarism issues.”
I would also assume that the New York Times will be all over this, having determined that this precise form of plagiarism at elite universities is one of the most important issues facing the country. Or will they ignore the story because Bill Ackman and Chris Rufo and Elise Stefanik aren’t demanding they cover it? Who can say!
