The Columbia University professor who gained widespread attention last fall after a noose was found hanging on her office door was fired on Monday after months of wrangling over charges that she plagiarized the work of two former students and a former colleague.
There is a continuing criminal investigation into who placed the noose on the door, but there have been no charges in the case. When she was first found guilty of plagiarism, Dr. Constantine linked the two events.
I also never heard if there were any security cameras monitoring her hallway when the noose was hung. That question was kicked around for a time.
I smell a rat. Perhaps she was staging an “incident” to make it harder for the University to fire her. Bet she files a lawsuit.
