Today, if my "new" doctor got his degree after 2020, I will not accept that doctor.
If, they are black, or a woman,
If its a white guy, then you know he got there on merit.
I felt the exact opposite in the 70's. A lot of the white docs left something to be desired, all of the black or lady docs were great. They had to be, just like white guys have to be now. If that kind of token racism was bad then, its bad now.
As an alum of UVA, we had to write “I will not lie, cheat, or steal” on every piece of work we did and submitted. The most minor infraction would subject a student to expulsion. And yet these DEI fraudsters can get away with entire passages of dissertations that are stolen from others. Truly pathetic and disgusting
Any college or university that has a DEI department, DEI officers or teaches anything similar to DEI should receive no public funding. Any administrator involved in DEI or establishing DEI on any campus should be banned from any employment in the educational sector. The cost of any ‘student loan forgiveness’ should be paid out of a tax placed on school endowments.
You would think the left would be examining the work of conservative academics (is there such a thing?) to expose similar transgressions. The silence speaks loudly.
Great piece of investigative journalism. It raises a question (for me anyway)........how can these people be suitably brought to account for:
* their gall and presumption in thinking they have any rightful place in an institution of 'higher learning.'
* their wilful aquisition and nurture of ignorance at the taxpayers expense
* their passive-aggressive spite and bile towards their fellow man thinly dressed up as virtue.
It may seem very non-pc but one can't help feeling that some kind of retribution (punishment even) - something akin to the stocks of former times - is what the kind of academia wokerati behavior (the kind highlighted in the first paragraph of this post) richly deserves....I wish I knew how it could be brought about but I've no idea.
My thesis was just accepted. I was required to go through my citations with a fine comb to prevent even accidental plagiarism. I am spitting mad right now as I read this.
How shocking that a grievance studies major (steeped in postmodernist assumptions about reality being a shared delusion and truth being subjective) wouldn't see a problem with falsifying her own research. If truth is nonexistent and logic is a tool of the cis-normative, white patriarchy, plagiarism is just applied anticolonialism.
Richard Weaver was right. Ideas have consequences.
Keep up the great work, Chris! Picking them off one by one is the way to go. There's only so many of them who need to fall before the entire edifice crumbles and rebuilding can begin.
Thank you for pursuing this important, joyless work on behalf of those of us who could not stomach reading such dreck.
In a fraudlent discipline, are we surprised by deeper fraud?
Mmmmmm.
DEI
Didn't Earn It.
In the old days, the label was diversity hire.

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut
Kurt predicted this rabid insanity way back when.
So it goes.
Maybe instead of using term “academic dishonesty”, we call them academic liars.

Now? What is next? Are the degrees retracted? Does she get fired? Does the DA prosecute her fraud?
Or does she get a new job?
Black, female, plagiarist, able to spout academic and DEI gibberish on command. Should be on the short list for president of Harvard.
Thanks for exposing these frauds. Fire her ass

Easily grounds to expel any undergraduate.
This makes all those old "zero tolerance for plagiarism" threats laughable in retrospect.
Wow is right. She obviously did not attend my high school. We were terrified of plagiarism as well as the forbidden comma splice.
