'NOOSE' PROF A PLAGIARISTM
STOLE STUDENTS' WORK AT COLUMBIA

February 21, 2008 -- The black Columbia University professor who last fall found a hangman's noose pinned to her office door plagiarized the work of another faculty member and two students, according to a school investigation released yesterday.

The plagiarism probe was already under way last year when a 4-foot twine noose was discovered on the door of psychology and education professor Madonna Constantine's office, officials at the university's Teachers College said.

It’s obviously a racist conspiracy.

For some reason, her position is secure. Why?

At least two dozen documented instances of plagiarism, and her position is “secure” . . . .

I thought this 1 was determined hoaxed by the idiot herself?

Yeah, it’s a racist conspiracy, and all the liberals on that campus are “racist”. All 1 professor and all 2 students who were plagiarized are the stooges for a campus-wide conspiracy.

I find it really rich that she’s in “psychology”. Sounds like a case herself.

Maybe she can research her own problems and write and unplagiarized academic report on it.

Well, even if she put it there herself, she did find it there.

The psychology majors I have met have had severe issues (with the exception of a few).

Obviously! This is from the article:

In a statement e-mailed to Bloomberg News Service yesterday, Constantine said she was the victim of a racist conspiracy.

And you answered your own question. It's a racist conspiracy.

No student at Columbia should ever again be penalized for plagiarism. If one is, he/she should immediately file suit using the leniency for this Prof. as precedent for their position.
