LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The interim vice provost for diversity at the University of Kansas has resigned after acknowledging that a message he sent out to the campus on Martin Luther King Jr. Day was largely plagiarized.
D.A. Graham’s resignation was accepted Wednesday and is effective immediately, Provost Barbara Bichelmeyer said.
Graham, interim vice provost of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, told the Lawrence Journal-World on Monday that he didn’t intentionally plagiarize the “2022 MLK Jr. Day of Reflection” text he sent to all faculty, staff and students.
“It was an oversight on my part,” Graham said. “I was trying to hurry up and get the message together.”
“Plagiarism is never acceptable behavior – for students, faculty, staff, or administrators,” she said.
Bichelmeyer said a search for a permanent vice provost of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging already was scheduled to begin at the start of this semester.

Gee that’s too bad.
Oversight my A@@. Thought he could get away with it just like Biden did.
MLK plagiarized too, so this could have been a tribute.
Typical commie lib. Can’t come up with an original thought.
Guess he wasn’t capable of diverse thought and expression.
Is it worse if you plagiarize a plagiarizer? Double punishment for a double plagiarizer?
Well that escalated quickly.
So now it’s DIE and Belonging?!
What kind of snowflake bs is this.
Bummer. There’s AI programs that can catch pretty much any plagiarism these days. Lots of the professors must be using them if only to lighten their workload. How on earth did this rube think he/she/it (the only way to address diversity people that breathe) get away with it?
Probably was going to rely on the intimidation factor.
It is very dangerous to write original thoughts on campus.
You may accidentally violate the latest rules of group-think.
vice provost for diversity
***********
They got their own little bureaucracy for diversity. Prolly also an assistant and deputy to the vice provost. Wonder how large their staff and budget are.
Hmmm...bow tie and two diamond ear studs. What are we to make of that?
I’ll bet he voted for Biden...
There’s a five consecutive word rule... so the comment that it was ‘was largely plagiarized’ is BS Either there were five consecutive words picked up from another - or there weren’t.
Like being a little pregnant.
The newly sworn in Governor Youngkin of Virginia has changed the name of this agency from “diversity equity and inclusion” to “diversity opportunity and inclusion”. The USA was once the land of opportunity and should be again. Equity means everybody will be equally poor.
Quote it, cite it, and use it. That’s how it’s done derpy.
Can we fire Biden for the same fraud?
Deal with it, loser.
