A very early good morning, class. Welcome to School!

As I explained to Miss Why yesterday, they call it PMS beause Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

The University launched an informal investigation into Bellesiles' book in February, after some members of the national academic community accused him of basing his research on fraudulent and long-destroyed records. The results of that internal inquiry led Interim Dean of the College Robert Paul to launch a second external investigation by a panel of "distinguished scholars."
Bellesiles' case marks the first time a College professor has been charged and investigated for research misconduct.

The college is not going to release the findings of this independent investigation until after Bellesiles has had a chance to appeal the findings. Which he is doing right now. Does that give anyone the idea that perhaps things did not go Michael's way?? Oh I can't tell you how that concerns me. /sarcasm

I loathe collegiate cheaters and frauds, and have nothing but animadversion towards them all. Bellesile is going to be burned and burned hard for his lies. Good.
