I think it’s the betrayal he feels from the wider academic class too. In some corners of academia the kinds of paraphrasing stuff that’s been coming out is an open secret. It’s kinda fucked up to crucify one person for doing something you know is happening quite commonly.
The only reason he feels betrayed is because he’s taken an unpopular political position and has tried to strong-arm the academic class into adopting his position. When that failed, he began lashing out through a smear campaign, which his wife then immediately became a casualty of. She caught a stray because he didn’t want to back down.
This is a retaliatory smear campaign to remove anyone who disagrees with him. He wants to hire/fire people until academic leadership reflects his worldview. Since he can’t invoke the unpopular politics which led him to these actions, he’s made Plagiarism the cover of his McCarthyist campaign to root out opposition to his political agenda.

Two people. Two people have been crucified and he supplied the nails, hammer, and 10 foot cross for the first one.
