Neri Oxman, Bill Ackman's Wife, Admits to Dissertation Plagiarism Allegations

Neri Oxman, an academic and wife of billionaire investor Bill Ackman, has been accused of plagiarizing parts of her doctoral dissertation at MIT, as reported by Business Insider. Oxman admitted to the oversight of not using quotation marks in four paragraphs of her 330-page dissertation, which she has apologized for and plans to correct upon verifying the original sources. The issue has arisen amidst similar accusations against former Harvard president Claudine Gay, which Bill Ackman has publicly criticized as serious. Oxman, known for her work in "material ecology," left MIT in 2020 after marrying Ackman and moving to New York City.
