Neri Oxman, wife of billionaire Bill Ackman and former MIT professor, admitted to instances of plagiarism in her doctoral dissertation after a Business Insider investigation. Ackman defended Oxman, highlighting her willingness to own up to and apologize for her mistakes, contrasting her response with that of ex-Harvard president Claudine Gay, whom he had previously criticized for plagiarism. Oxman plans to request corrections to her dissertation at MIT, where the consequences for plagiarism can be severe.
