Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said Sunday that he has “good reason to believe” the plagiarism accusations against his wife Neri Oxman were spearheaded by either faculty or administrators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ackman said it was based on “new information,” which he did not share. “Our leaders remain focused on ensuring the vital work of the people of MIT continues, work that is essential to the nation’s security, prosperity and quality of life,” an MIT spokesperson told CNN on Sunday. Oxman, a former tenured professor at MIT, allegedly plagiarized in more than two dozen instances in peer-reviewed academic papers and her PhD dissertation, according to a report published Friday by Business Insider. The Business Insider investigation, which was published one day after another report from the outlet accusing Oxman of plagiarizing portions of her dissertation, cited 28 more alleged examples of plagiarism, some apparently from Wikipedia entries. CNN has not independently verified the Business Insider report. Oxman has seemingly been pulled into this controversy in part because of her connection to Ackman, one of the most prominent critics in a successful effort to oust former Harvard president Claudine Gay.
