Columbia University disputes plagiarism claim against president

“Columbia University criticized a plagiarism allegation levied against its president, calling the claim “absurd.”

Yale University Professor Ahmed Mobarak accused President Minouche Shafik of “wholesale intellectual theft,” in reference to a 30-year-old paper that is almost identical to a study she co-authored in 1992.”

Nemat Shafik – @Columbia Prez only has 1 well-cited publication in her life, in Oxford Econ Papers 1994.
This paper is lifted almost entirely from a 1992 report coauthored with consultant not credited in the publication.
