Bill Ackman’s Wife, Neri Oxman, Apologizes for Plagiarism in Her 2010 Dissertation

[Magnus]

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.

First off, Bill Ackman is a democrat, not a Republican. Second, his wife started and runs her own company, so what is she supposed to do, fire herself?

Oops. Should have done my homework. Yeah, he is a Dem supporter. Guess Dems are guilty of hypocrisy, too. Who knew?

As for his wife - the point is not that she needs to be removed but the hypocrisy of the Ackermans.

If she didn't criticize calls for violence against Jews, Bill won't be donating to the University she heads either.
