This has become so common that people are becoming desensitized to it. Plagiarism used to be a very serious charge in higher education.
The Daily Wire reports:
University of Maryland President Copied Rocket Science Paper From Aussie Student
University of Maryland President Darryll Pines appears to have committed significant plagiarism, lifting large portions of two academic journal articles from a tutorial website made years prior by an Australian student, a Daily Wire investigation found.
A 1,500-word stretch of a 5,000-word paper by Pines and a co-author published in 2002 — accounting for nearly a third of the paper — is virtually identical to a tutorial website called “Surfing the Wavelets” published in 1996 by Joshua Altmann, who at the time of publishing was a university student in Australia.
Pines does not cite or mention Altmann or the website, which says it was last updated in October 1996. Pines and his co-author, Liming Salvino, then recycled much of that paper, including almost all the uncredited Altmann language, for another peer-reviewed paper in 2006.
Pines, a rocket scientist and diversity activist, does not appear to have made any changes to Altmann’s work except removing some sentences and Americanizing the Australian’s British spelling (turning “analyse” to “analyze,” e.g.) — but Pines missed two such words, “endeavour” and “modelling,” which remain in his work with the spelling commonly used abroad.
Pines’s systematic editing of British words suggests he did copy the language, but deliberately manipulated Altmann’s text to look like his own. The finding of significant past plagiarism comes after Pines this month presented what he said was “faculty research” defending a pro-Palestine rally planned for October 7, but which actually came from ChatGPT.
No one listen to it, it will make the rockets go down under instead up up over like they ae supposed to do.
I hope Elon Musk knows about this.
Aussie Fascists.
Well, I guess it is rocket science!
Likely a prog and they are damned if they DON’T plagerize.
DEI privilege.
Yes, he’ll get a pass because of...well, you know.
From "Fear the Turtle" to "He's a Turdle".
Racist, plagiarist, and supporter of terrorists.
He misspoke?
I was on the Dean’s Search Committee at a well-known university. I learned that the “in-house” candidate had plagiarized a paper from his grad student that he later published as his own. I brought this fact to the Committee and the Academic Dean who headed the Committee more-or-less ignored it. I later found out that the in-house candidate (the College of Business Administration) agreed to policies that the President of the university wanted and, if agreed to them, he would get the job. He did get the job even though several other candidates had significantly better qualifications (e.g., Ivy League degrees, more articles/books, and experience).
I tended my resignation a few weeks later as the deal would have hurt everyone in the COBA.
University of Maryland President Darryll Pines is black. The MSM will give him a pass. Why? Because the MSM is as corrupt as Darryll Pines. And by giving him a pass, they’re also racists. Yes, treating people differently based on the color of their skin is racist.
When your only a pocket rocket scientist cheat copy someone’s else paper.
DEI in action
Well, this is rocket surgery................
What a pathetic dishonest bum. He should resign and disgrace, put on sackcloth, cover himself with ashes, beat himself with a stick and roam America asking for forgiveness
MLK,Jr. plagiarized over 80% of his doctoral thesis and we gave him a National Holiday. Once this precedent was set it lowered the bar for all.
Yup !
Plagiarizing from a student???? That is low.
