Plagiarism at Bangalore University?
Further to an IPBiz post on plagiarism of an ezine article, one notes the recent investigation into plagiarism charges at Bangalore University.
CNN-IBN reports: In Karnataka, a professor from the prestigious Bangalore University is being investigated on plagiarism charges.
The Director of correspondence courses at the University, Dr B C Myalarappa, was the guide for a thesis prepared by a PhD student Venkataramanappa.
One commenter wrote:
This is only a tip of the iceberg. A deep exploration will reveal how the entire PhD system is rotten!
When I was working in a Govt R&D, I heard a guide guiding a PhD student saying "You have used the same words of that paper, at least convert them with your own words!"
It will be of much use, if some one takes a thesis on this plagiarism. It will be an appreciable work if he or she brings out, how many research papers are original and how many of them are plagiarised!

Separately, a reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune was fired for plagiarizing from an article in the University of Utah's Daily Utah Chronicle.
The AP quoted the reporter:
"I talked to everybody in that story, and that's what I told them," Sykes told the Tribune. "There's nothing untrue in that story. There's nothing false in that story, and I talked to everyone."
Of course, plagiarism is not about accuracy, truth, or untruth. It is about passing someone else's work off as one's own.
