Plain & simple. I gave them a piece called "Plagiarism, Policing, Pedagogy." Without my permission, they changed to "Forget About Policing Plagiarism; Just <I>Teach</I>." The title distorted what I actually said in the article, but it sure did get a lot of attention.

What bugs me the most is that this is very typical of what American profs complain about and think of as heavy politics.

Did the administrator think the staff member could be easily removed at the request of Ravens? That seems either a false, desperate promise or incredibly, unbelievably naive, too. --ERGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647858.post-1110641269292790672005-03-12T10:27:00.000-05:002005-03-12T10:27:00.000-05:00Clyde says:That was so inept!

Does Ravens really think she was working for a higher purpose by getting another person fired--oh PLEASE. <BR/><BR/>As Michael Turton says, if Chinese academics were set lose in America, they would be running the show in no time. I don't see what Ravens is crying about at all. She got screwed rather than screwing a poor staff member--oh my, boo hoo, I'm Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
