"Business Insider Stands Firm on Reporting Amid Plagiarism Feud and Legal Threat"
Business Insider and its parent company, Axel Springer, stand by their reports accusing former MIT professor Neri Oxman of plagiarism, despite complaints from her husband, Bill Ackman. The articles raised questions about academic dishonesty and the outlet's independence, prompting a review. Business Insider's CEO defended the stories as newsworthy and well-documented, asserting editorial independence and denying unfair bias. Ackman criticized the timing and impact of the articles, while Oxman's husband claimed they caused severe emotional harm. Former Harvard President Claudine Gay, targeted in the articles, denounced the campaign against her as based on lies and ad hominem insults.
