[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This dude literally came out and said, "this is normal recurrent use of language in science." 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[/quote]

Show me where he said “normal”[/quote]

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

We do use boiler plate language for documents so makes sense. [/quote]

Lawyers use boilerplate language in contracts and laws, and largely public domain via government. (But there is some controversial intellectual property practices around copyrighting the text of laes and standards).

But those are functional works, not creative expressive works. Contract writers don't sign their name to the work.
A research paper is claimed to be an original work by an author. When a different author writes 1/3 the paper, their name should be on it.

When you spend hours copying someone else's work and changing the spelling of words, and don't give credit, simultaneously claiming that work is so meaningless that it doesn't deserve credit, but so meaningful that you'd send hours to carefully merge kt into your work, that's simply depraved.
