That's a starkly different approach from the one he took toward Gay after she stepped down as president earlier this week. At the time, Ackman said she should be fired from Harvard's faculty entirely because of what he called "serious plagiarism issues." However, the instances of Oxman's and Gay's plagiarism have more similarities than differences, according to experts and an internal analysis.

Gay gave a bungled answer that she wouldn't outright ban calls for genocide against Jews on campus during the House hearing last month. The controversy quickly spiraled into wider allegations of plagiarism against Gay — led by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative outlet. Stefanik — who led the hearing Gay attended and was also booted off a Harvard advisory panel for backing Donald Trump's election lies — vowed to keep up the pressure.
