There are plenty of qualified, ethical candidates out there.

I'm embarrassed as a Marylander.

+1. The President is posturing for the board right now. And of course he will scream "racism". The board will negotiate a nice severance package for him and he will resogn ... as happened at Harvard.

I doubt it. It feels like this is going to fade away and eventually be forgotten.

If this happens, any student caught plagiarizing will just point to their president of the school as an example that this is nbd.

This is so absurd and basically takes a big peepee all over the scientific method and academic research. That alone should be clear evidence that he isn't qualified to be president of a research university

Show me where he said “normal”

Saying “not uncommon” is basically the same thing as saying normal. Because yes, this level of plagiarism most certainly IS UNCOMMON and would get your article retracted at any respectable academic journal

It would not merit a retraction.
The writing was deemed to be acceptable quality at publication. Nothing new and disqualifying about the writing has been discovered

It would merit a correction to add quotation and citation, disciplinary action against the author for their misbehavior, and public lesson to the community about proper credit.

As an editor an academic journal, I can tell that you have no idea what you are talking about, or your field is incredibly outside the norm of standards at the majority of journals. See here for a bog list of all the retracted papers due to plagiarism (https://retractionwatch.com/category/by-reason-for-retraction/plagiarism/)

Those are cases where the actual research was plagiarized and falsified, which is obviously not correctable. That's not the case reported with ones's paper.

Ummm... no, that is not what all of those are. Even cases of self-plagiarism where one article repeats much of the theory or background review of another paper is grounds for retraction. Again you are talking to a journal editor and it's very clear that you are not one lol

I heard through the grapevine that there is now a new independent review commission (not the fake non-independent "dependent" review that Pines himself established, but an outside one) and that lots of people are very mad about this. I would be they pressure him to resign. You can't lose the trust of a majority of your faculty and continue on running the institution.

You think students are much more in tune with their own institution than they really are.

Actually this was front page news in the student newspaper and a lot of students do read it

I see you left out the conservative aspect of the accusing publication in your original post.


“An article published Tuesday in The Daily Wire, a conservative American media outlet, asserted Pines lifted portions of the papers from a website published in 1996.”

Why would an American conservative publication care about the UMD president? Hmmm…

So let me flip this for you...if a liberal organization outs a conservative for obvious dishonesty or some other misdeed, then it's okay for other conservatives to ignore the facts presented? I really do not like where I see our society going.

The Daily Wire is a profoundly dishonest propaganda operation that pushes obvious lies on behalf of oligarchs. I’m not aware of a liberal leaning publication that pushes agendas like that, except maybe The Intercept, which is trash.

That doesn’t make this story untrue, but let’s be clear about who’s publishing the story.

LOL. Then you are clearly not paying attention.

Or you are SO deeply brainwashed that you can’t see the constant liberal agenda being pushed by so many media sources.

Regardless, all sources have bias. The important thing is whether or not the story is true. And in this case, it is.

I wasn’t aware black people have a plagiarism pass. I must have missed the DEI memo earlier this year

If you don’t like people attacking a black man, you should be angry at this particular black man for such dishonest & sloppy behavior that made it almost mandatory that he be attacked.
