The allegations: DiAngelo’s dissertation, titled “Whiteness in Racial Dialogue: A Discourse Analysis,” allegedly lifted material from Thomas Nakayama of Northeastern University and Stacey Lee of the University of Wisconsin-Madison without proper attribution. The complaint, which was obtained and first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, reveals 20 instances of alleged plagiarism. National Association of Scholars President Peter Wood, who likened one instance to “forgery,” told the Beacon, “It is never appropriate to use the secondary source without acknowledging it, and even worse to present it as one’s own words.” The allegations appear to extend beyond the two scholars.

The complaint, which was recently filed with the university, accuses her of lifting material from multiple scholars — including two Asian American professors — and passing them off as her own.

Ironically, DiAngelo’s website contains an accountability statement in which she insists that the work of people of color must always be cited if they have “informed your thinking.”
