MIT Faces 2021 DEI Deans Plagiarism Lawsuit
May 14, 2024, 03:23 PM
MIT is facing allegations that two of the six Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) deans it hired in 2021 are serial plagiarists. One of the accused, Tracie Jones-Barrett, allegedly copied an entire section on 'ethical considerations' from a classmate in her Ph.D. program.
