@erinnacland In other words, it looks like Harvard and Claudine Gay are only the beginning.
@erinnacland It looks like there's a concerted - and perhaps well-funded - effort on the right to weaponize plagiarism accusations against administrators they perceive as proponents of DEI. I'm expecting a steady trickle of these sorts of revelations about university administrators for the near future. https://twitter.com/aaronsibarium/status/1763192727762509855

NEW: The chief diversity officer of Columbia University's medical school, Alade McKen, plagiarized extensively in his doctoral dissertation, lifting huge chunks of material without attribution. Two pages in the dissertation come directly from Wikipedia.๐Ÿงต https://t.co/V1cy1vOwe4

Here's a paradox I think about: While this is embarrassing for Hindawi/Wiley, at least they're acknowledging this. However, the reputational hit from publicizing this mass retraction might make such publishers seem *less* reputable than those that do nothing about peer review manipulation.

@ct_bergstrom This is a good thread summarizing an interesting paper. I guess an issue that is recurrent in science/higher ed is the responsibilties of institutions to redress ("de-bias"?) disparities earler in the pipeline, where it's impossible to target the stage(s) where biases arise.
