"I believe that the UC of Boulder department of ecology and evolutionary biology is changing its name to something less political. Reports have it that they are also looking for an endowed professor of creationism as well as a professor of pollution advocacy in order to create some balance. Meanwhile, angry trustees feel that peace and conflict studies is tipping the balance way too much in favor of peace. In order to hear more from those who believe that conflict remains a very viable, if old-fashioned, way to resolve problems, they are trying to identify little Eichmanns as possible candidates for another endowed chair. I, for one, applaud all these efforts." --David U. of Colorado at Boulder Wants to Hire 'Professor of Conservative Thought'

Today’s Boston Globe has a long article about accusations of plagiarism leveled against a Harvard University undergraduate in her first novel, which has been widely celebrated as a true-to-life tale of an Indian-American girl’s coming of age. The allegations, which say the book copies elements of two other novels published in the last five years, were first reported on Sunday in The Harvard Crimson. And today’s New York Times reports that an acclaimed book of advice written by the chief executive of the Raytheon Company appears to have been partly lifted from a 1944 book by an engineering professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. Plagiarism by academics in their scholarship was the subject of a special report by The Chronicle in 2004. Posted on Monday April 24, 2006 | Permalink |
