"Part of what makes her human is that she makes mistakes, owns them, and apologizes when appropriate," he wrote in a post on X following Business Insider's report on Oxman's plagiarism.
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.
"It indicates a bad process to drafting this stuff, and I would say that's true for both Gay and Oxman," he said.
