Neri Oxman, an architect and the wife of billionaire investor Bill Ackman, has apologized for instances of plagiarism in her 2010 dissertation.
A Business Insider article Thursday said she didn’t use quotation marks when quoting another work in several instances and paraphrased from a book without a citation.
Ackman had pushed to oust Harvard University President Claudine Gay, who resigned Tuesday, in part because of allegations of plagiarism in her academic work.
Oxman, who started New York-based design and technology company Oxman in 2020, wrote the dissertation when she was a doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was a professor at MIT’s Media Lab for about a decade, starting in 2010, before leaving to focus on her firm.
“I regret and apologize for these errors,” Oxman said in a post on X Thursday.

One rule for thee... But if Republicans could not practice hypocrisy, what else would they be left with? But she does apologize, so it's all good.
