Professor of Journalism, hmmmmmmmmmm.

How long has this plagiarist been teaching his "craft?"

Presumably, he allowed his students to appropriate the work of others, since he himself has no problem doing it.

I suppose that we can rest assured that many of his ilk are also teaching at other academic institutions.

Had a Student done such an act, he would be summarily expelled from University. The same “Courtesy” should be accorded to the Professor.

Well this is kinda funny, since I know college profs. who have outside contract work that they assign to their students as “ Assignments “then edit the work for themselves turning it to their clients and get paid.

A distinguished University of Missouri-Columbia journalism professor will no longer write a weekly newspaper column after admitting to plagiarizing material from a student reporter.

Apparently, someone doesn't understand something. Ethics, morals, laws, policies, etc., don't apply to liberals. Those things only apply to conservatives. With liberals, the policy is "Do as I say, NOT as I do"!

"Missourian policy does not allow any writer to appropriate someone else's words as his own, even when those words are within quotation marks,"

huh?

That sentence doesn't make sense. If quotation marks are used then the writer is not claiming the words to be his own.

No surprise, as according to the headline, he was already a “columnist for plagiarism”.
