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.

^^^^ totally agree. Plagiarism definitely gets your article retracted in most fields.

Yes, academic journals would retract an article that was plagiarized, and in this case 30% of the article being plagiarized is really substantial.

Lol the best part of this thread is that Darryll's alternate accounts or shills don't even want to defend him, because they would preferred it just gets buried.

+1. You can't expect students not to plagiarize and let the Presidents do it. That's why Claudine Gay had to go ... and several academics in similar situations right after her also had to resign. Ultimately the board wil
step in and force it

Well check out this racist article which in its first paragraph says, "it's all thanks to the jews":

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.

OK, so we have a story that UMD President already confirmed is true, vs you denying publicly verifiable facts.

Consider the source indeed.
What are you opposed to the truth?,

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.

Among the academics I've spoken with (my spouse is an R1 prof), that distinction between plagiarized research or altered results and plagiarism in non-core or background areas is a big one. All of it is clearly bad but there is a big difference.

NP. At this point I’m assuming all administrative-level professors cheated their way to the top. The number of them that have cheated or otherwise displayed abhorrent behavior is ridiculous.

Why are State of Maryland taxpayers allowing the President to keep his job?

There are plenty of qualified, ethical candidates out there.

I'm embarrassed as a Marylander.
