Axel Springer to Review Business Insider's Reporting on Neri Oxman's Alleged Plagiarism

Billionaire Bill Ackman defends wife, suggests MIT insiders may be behind allegations

Business Insider has published two articles alleging that Neri Oxman, a former MIT professor and wife of billionaire Bill Ackman, plagiarized parts of her 2010 doctoral dissertation and other academic papers.
Bill Ackman has defended his wife, claiming that Business Insider gave Oxman only 90 minutes to respond to the allegations before publishing their first article. He also suggested that the allegations may have been triggered by inside sources at MIT.
Axel Springer, the parent company of Business Insider, has announced it will review the processes around the publication's reporting on Oxman, although it noted that the facts of the reports have not been disputed.
Bill Ackman has been a vocal critic of academic plagiarism, having previously called for the resignation of former Harvard President Claudine Gay over similar allegations.
Oxman has not publicly responded to the fresh allegations, but has admitted to and apologized for four instances of improperly cited information in her dissertation.
