And when I say “quietly graduated”, I mean that they did not announce or invite anyone in the department to the defense. Because they knew that women would show up and object. They also removed a woman from his thesis committee for objecting to his thesis proposal and refusing to sign his thesis, so his committee was only men, despite the many women that “made his PhD possible”, including me.
Wow, I got a copy of the thesis and I AM IN THE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS!! WTF would cause a person to thank someone who wrote a blog post publicly accusing him of academic misconduct and stealing ideas.
@irene what an asshole!!
@irene thank you for speaking out. Alumni take note! Send a link to this in the next fundraising letter.
@irene I am furious for you. Furious.

It’s terrible and I’m so sorry this keeps going, but I’m not surprised by this particular development.
