Ackman plans to use AI in a massive plagiarism review for all of the MIT faculty. Next up Harvard's entire faculty and suggests donors will want this for every other school from an independent 3rd party review company. He suggests that large corporations need independent auditors, schools need independent reviews also.

Go for it. I'm curious

Ackman is going for it. After he helped expose the Harvard Pres, someone, who they think is from MIT went after his wife.

He seems extremely passionate about this and has the resources to do it.

He did a deep dive into how Gay became president, shared his findings and has since become a anti DEI warrior. Then they came for his wife.....

When i wrote my dissertation (1M years ago), I not only had to go through my review panel, but MONTHS before I defended before the panel, I had MULTIPLE meetings with my source checkers - a group of fellow grad students who served to cite check other candidate's dissertations for just these kinds of errors. There was also a similar arrangement at the school where I taught. The idea was to catch any inadvertent failures to cite or appropriately quote. The system is not foolproof, and it isn't nearly as robust as search engine's make it now, but it wasn't exactly easy to screw up.

I also had many meetings with doctoral candidates to discuss the exacting standards of plagiarism rules. Unless the humanities faculty at her degree granting institution were just lazy as heck, it is impossible for her not to have been aware of exactly what constituted plagiarism, and the consequences (i.e. career death in academia).

Like it or not, there has been a paternalistic thought that certain scholars who belong to privileged classes get by with things that others would never be allowed to get away with. I experienced this on a doctoral review panel when several of the panelists had comments about the quality of research for a candidate of color. We provided initial feedback and were then called individually by the dean, who told us that we needed to "give it another read, with some grace" and that our institution needed to be seen to grant degrees to a certain number of "the right kind" of candidates. It was galling and we categorically refused. None of the folks that refused are in academia today.

I hate to read your last sentence that you and the others lost careers by not just "passing" students.

Thanks! We're all doing fine in the private sector! But that made it impossible to stay at that institution. And for me, it soured the experience of the academy.

Ackman is going for it now that it effects his people. He didnt care when Harvard professor Noel Igantiev was calling for the abolition of the white race. Discriminating against White Christians is still just fine at Harvard and there are no rich powerful donors to speak on their behalf.

Yep, people only care when it's in their backyard.

The point is that if it is based solely on power and not on principles, then it will always end up in your backyard eventually.

the rot started in the "studies" arena. The academy allowed the conflation of the concepts "intellectual" and "ideologue."

Once ideology gets a toehold, ideas are dangerous things.

SCOOP: Harvard's chief diversity officer, Sherri Ann Charleston, appears to have plagiarized extensively in her academic work, lifting large chunks of text without quotation marks and even taking credit for a study done by another scholar—her own husband.🧵https://t.co/Kqwj3srXo0
