Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

So antisemitism, as an official university policy, is ok? Thanks for making your position very clear to the rest of us. Or does it depend on context, hey?

Can you please share a source that demonstrates that a university has antisemitism has it's public policy?

LOLOLOL. Maybe you should repeat "protected class" a few more times, we didn't get your meaning the first 50 times.

When will you be calling for Oxman and Gorsuch's resignations? Right after you call out Tuckems & Co?

Please stop with the insane, immature, and automatic response in every thread in which you disagree. Some things are so blatantly obvious that a middle schooler can figure them out. Just try to comprehend what's written. You sound like a lawyer wannabe, hey?

I disagree with your original post because I do not believe any university is antisemitic by their official policy. Which is what you stated.

Some things are so blatantly obvious indeed.

If you'd like to amend your original statement, I'll allow it.

So you'd like universities to crack down on students/employees who use language you don't like? Is that what you're saying?

I noticed we moved beyond plagiarism quickly. Weird.

Not weird or whatever thought you meant to convey. Plagiarism, alone, should disqualify a university president from the position. Gay hung on for a month. Shockin' or isn't it. See two can play this game, hey?

Yes, the problem here is people asking questions, and definitely not Gorsuch's and Oxman's plagiarism. Indeed.

My wife, @NeriOxman, was just contacted by Business Insider claiming that they have identified other plagiarism in her work including 15 examples in her dissertation where she did not cite Wikipedia as a source. 

Business Insider told us that they are publishing their story this evening.  As a result, we don't have time to research their claims prior to publication.

It is unfortunate that my actions to address problems in higher education have led to these attacks on my family.

This experience has inspired me to save all news organizations from the trouble of doing plagiarism reviews. 

We will begin with a review of the work of all current @MIT faculty members, President Kornbluth, other officers of the Corporation, and its board members for plagiarism.

We will be using MIT's own plagiarism standards which can be found here:

https://integrity.mit.edu/handbook/what-plagiarism

We will share our findings in the public domain as they are completed in the spirit of transparency.


So you don't care about plagiarism. You just care about the feelings of some guy you follow on X. Honestly I doubt you really care about antisemitism either.

So you're just some pathetic guy who holds no standards and can't think on his own.

Shocking.

You're just a hypocrite.
Once again, I just have to tip my hat to the right wing's manipulation of language.

Hypocrite/hypocrisy are sequences of letters that simply no longer have any meaning to them, any more than does kjeyqklm. Hypocrisy is no longer something to be embarrassed about, the very concept has been erased from their lexicon.

Whatever argument or position benefits them in the moment is what they make, and the fact that it directly contradicts a position of statement they made moments ago matters not in the least. The entire meaning and existence of the word has been snuffed out in their world.

I mean, job well done. It's impressive.

This was so very predictable. They pasted everyone's work into a Google search and this is what they found.

But of course people like Douchey and the Dentists can't be intellectually consistent when there's a culture war to fight.

That's exactly what he's saying. That's the whole point behind telling Jewish people how they should feel about things.

Does associating with/accepting support from anti-semites/racists necessarily make you anti-Semitic/racist?  Or just an enabler of those things. 

Not that it's any better, but I think the latter is the realm of shameless opportunists that litter the political and social media influencer space. 

Obviously we all know who is being referred to above, but outside of him, I've seen it unfairly used with people I don't agree with at all in this particular conflict.  They gleefully and enthusiastically embrace the boosting or expanding of their message by anti-Semites even though nothing about them previously would point to being an out and out Jew hater.

TL/DR labels like racist, anti-Semitic homophobe, transphobe, etc... get meted out far too frivolously, even if the person being labeled is an otherwise seemingly crappy person

Should plagiarism only disqualify a university president? What about other academic positions at a university?

Also, mind answering this: "So you'd like universities to crack down on students/employees who use language you don't like? Is that what you're saying?"

Remember when family values mattered to certain people?  Find new culture wars to fight.  When your side is exposed as frauds, move on.  Just remember, Donald Trump destroyed all those norms they fought for because Barack Obama was black and Trump got political on Fox News trying to prove he was born in Kenya.  They threw away all those values to back that guy.

The hypocrisy is so astounding it's beyond description.

Here is her defense on the first batch of accusations. She did cite the sources, and she forgot to use quotation marks.
Very long, specific, and highly detailed.
https://x.com/NeriOxman/status/1742993073078947843?s=20

The second batch of allegations was posted four hours ago. I'll await her rebuttal.

---

My point is now that it's a "game on," with a billionaire with the resources to check the entire faculty of MIT, where do you think they will be in a month? How many credible allegations of plagiarism will there be across all of MIT?

And if the standard for plagiarism and dismissal is "forgot quotations but cited the source," who will be left at MIT?

Then Ackman will turn to Harvard. Who knows, by next year, others will join in and they will get to MU.

Where does this stop?
