-yes
-kind of
-no.
There are few publications that I trust less than WND to tell an honest story.
Mr. Robinson sounds like a fruitcake.
In recent years, Dr. Robinson has also directed the Petition Project, which has obtained the support and signatures of more than 31,000 American scientists for a petition opposed – entirely on scientific grounds published in peer reviewed journals – to the hypothesis of "human-caused global warming."
Now, none of this proves that he isn't a whack o. The petition project tie-in is very interesting and reason to black list him and any who associate with him.
“all three of them could be caught blatantly using other people’s research.”
All research, including inventions, done by students at most universities, belongs to the university. Sad but true. I was driving in another state, and suddenly came upon a grade school, that I had designed as a Freshman project while studying Architecture at an Ohio university. I was never even notified that “my” design was in use! And I have no knowledge about how many were built.
When I graduated from U of O in 1966 it was the haven for the “bell, book & sandal” crowd whose grades were too poor to get into any school in their home state of California. The only place worse was Reed College in Portland.
Soda cracker, soda cracker, munch, munch, munch...
Here’s to the Beavers, crunch, crunch, crunch...
Eat it...Rah, Rah, Rah
Robinson is no doubt a bright enough guy. But if you look at the linked articles, and you look at his website ... the guy is a crank.
what a fabulous example of exactly WHY we need to get Government out of the Education Business
Send it on to David Horowitz newsrealblog and Brietbart’s “Bigs.” Horowitz wrote a book about these treacherous academics.
I agree with you now.
Yes, I read the entire thing and he never stated what they were being expelled for.
FIRE would be a great place to go for assistance and to punish the “university.”
You may think that Art is a crank, but his children are getting hurt. Expulsion from a Phd program is very serious and it could very well be career ending for those kids.
FIRE needs to get involved and needs to make the charges stick.
I gave OSU a lot of money for my daughter's degree. I hate the thought of these @sshats picking on students (doctoral or otherwise) for political payback.
Democrats - Thieves (politicians, Soros, Department heads), Thugs (unions, old media), Thralls (university students, black/latino voters) and Thickheads (college instructors, socialists). This is just Thickheads serving their masters, the Thieves.
Probably the best thing they can do is prevent others from stealing their work by creating a “poor man’s patent” on what they have created.
That is, fully document everything they have done, and send copies of their work and creations to experts in the field at other institutions, claiming it as completely their own creations, and that any other claims to their work *or* its derivatives should be seen as academic theft.
While that would have no legal force, as the institution likely holds the official patents, it would not matter, because any future claims to it would be compromised, and the individuals claiming it would be seen as disreputable.
The bottom line is that they will never get their post graduate degrees from this university, this much is clear. But by providing these materials to other institutions, it acts as both resume and portfolio of their abilities.
They may very likely then be picked up by other institutions to finish their degree work, and though they have been set back a year or more, theirs will be a much more worthy degree.
Couldn’t possibly be OSU huh?
And you would accept OSUs”evidence” WHY?
You know perfectly well I didn't say that.
Perhaps I'm a more discriminating individual, but I don't take the word of someone I don't know if they're obviously withholding pertinent information.
Do you think the writer simply "forgot" to mention it?
