      Harvard president had plagiarism allegations against her, he was particularly vocal about it. A business insider journo went through his wife’s doctoral dissertation and found like 30 instances of plagiarism, including 15 instanced of entire paragraphs being copied straight from wikipedia.

      It didn’t look like the plagiarism was really particularly meaningful, like it wasn’t original ideas just like lifting some historic summaries. But it’s still pretty problematic. And I’m gonna guess that the Harvard president case is similar, mostly just filler.

      Oh he’s had multiple meltdowns about this, not obvious from the screenshot but his tweets on this are well over a page long
