I believe it is a fake also but this really doesn’t prove anything. A student could have seen the piece minutes after it was published and copied and pasted it, which would not be a causal connection in the correct direction.

IMO the op-ed was written by Sarah Jeong, and until other evidence emerges I’m sticking with it.

This is still very early since this discovery if it is indeed true. It currently has only 150 retweets. Does anyone here know how to verify if this is accurate or not?

It needs to be established whether this alleged piece by the UCLA student appeared before or after the NYT piece, and whether the date could be faked or altered. If the student’s article appeared after the NYT story, it is a nothing burger.

“Archived & submitted to the repository w/in minutes of NYT”

Does this mean within minutes of the publication??? If so, the student may be the plagiarist who is working at the paper???

The turnitin website doesn’t appear to have a free evaluation option. So not easily verifiable. But the bigger problem is what others have pointed out, the essay was turned in after the NYT was published, not before.

I agree, that’s what I’ve been saying, a work of fiction by the staff of the NYT.

Even if it appeared before, the letter had to be received and processed before being published. Things are instantaneous.

That's the way I read it. It was submitted to TurnItIn.com AFTER it was printed in the NYT.

I wish people could write intelligible English these days. The Internet has destroyed our ability to think and write clearly:

"Or duped by a USC student, which is my theory. I ran the “essay” through (link: http://Turnitin.com) Turnitin.com. It popped as a 100% match to a USC student essay, turned in w/out citation-making it an original essay-sept 5-overachiever! Archived & submitted to the repository w/in minutes of NYT"

Agreed, but keep in mind that California is 3 hours behind New York. What do the timestamps show? Is one PDT and the other EDT?

Who will be the first investigative journalist to find the USC student and interview him (or her).

Could be right, but I don't think this proves anything. There is no indication I can see that shows when the "original" essay was submitted. But if true, NYT should have ALL of their government credentials pulled immediately.

Did a student write it or did a student plagiarized the NYT article?
