[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He hasn't painted a target on his back, and he had a co-author who can be potentially thrown under the bus.

I doubt that this kind of thing ever happens just once, so if nothing else gets turned up in the next couple of months, he's almost certainly OK. If it *does* get turned up... still a chance to survive. Unlike the Ivy Leaguers, he hasn't painted a target on his back, and it was one of Ew, Those People who pointed out the plagiarism. Academics are very tribal, and it's not all that hard to get them to confuse hatred of the messenger with hatred of the message. [/quote]

I would dislike him less if it turns out he really is squeaky clean in follow-up writing, AND he majorly apologizes and admits wrongdoing. His response so far is making me really dislike him.

Even if I also really dislike the people who uncovered his wrongdoing, what he did is so dishonest. How can a university expect students to uphold any academic integrity if he doesn’t face any consequences?[/quote]
