That explains it all..............
Give him a break. After all, he cried.
I wonder what would happen if a certain unspecified female presidential candidate’s thesis was run through turnitn.com. I wonder further how current writing by powerful MSM “reporters” would similarly fare.
“In an interview with the committee, Poshard said he couldn’t recall “hearing instruction on the meaning of plagiarism’’ but simply thought it was intentionally stealing others’ work. The committee found there was no definition of plagiarism in the graduate student handbook at the time.”
The janitor’s wife never buys brooms or mops, either.
Glenn Poshard in some hot water.
So, a faculty memeber feels that his institution is “...deeply disgraced...”
Sorry, professor. If you’re part of a liberal arts faculty, you are discraced by definition. Your courses are largely jokes and students receiving your “degrees” are suckers who paid good money for bad indoctrination. Yup, I know that this all-inclusive statement is not correct. However, it appears that statistically, it is largely correct. Prof, suck it up and get a real degree in physics, chemistry, engineering, math...you know - those courses that actually require an IQ to pass. Then you can impart actual knowledge to humanity.
If the concept and rules of plagiarism is alien to a man by the time he’s in post-grad schooling... I’d think the real investigation should be in how he got into the program.
Did he earn his initial degree or did he copy off others then too?
BS... how can this university remotely claim authority to chastise and punish and expell students for plagerism when it let its own President off the hook for it?
Liberalism means no integrity and no respect. Alumni should shut off all funding to this university until this jackass is gone.
Obviously the trustees are not going to do anything.
“Inadvertant plagiarism” is akin to “smoking without inhaling”, or being an “unindicted co-conspirator”.
There is simply an air about them suggesting a less than entire probity. One would think the University would favor someone more ... dignified.
“Poshard said he took “full responsibility’’ for the mistakes and cried at one point during a news conference ...”
This man’s got a real future in the Democrat (women, gays and lesbians, blacks, and unions, according to Gore’s campaign manager Donna Brazile) Party, hayna? Or no?
The standard applied to Democrats fraud.
