Trump National-Security Pick Monica Crowley Plagiarized PhD Dissertation Too

[hexola]

Source: New York

...if the 50 examples from her book weren’t convincing enough. Politico combed through Crowley’s PhD dissertation, titled “Clearer Than Truth: Determining and Preserving Grand Strategy: The Evolution of American Policy Toward the People’s Republic of China Under Truman and Nixon,” which she submitted in 2000 while pursuing her PhD in international relations at Columbia University. They found more than a dozen sections of text that were copied from scholarly works without proper attribution...

[monmouth4]

3. I honestly think one needs to be close to felon territory before one can be considered for a

position in the trump admin..

[keithbvadu2]

4. Trump does not want people around him who can think for themselves.

He needs sycophants.

5. SO this fascists doesn't use footnotes

to back up here claims-------------------wonder what she would do if and when the sexual serial predator gets blackmailed from a state actor............................


Oh boy...............................maybe they will talk in tongues of religion, since they "all" don't use footnotes, just look at what Sessions did---------------he also forgot to include information on some sheets of paper that was sent to him by the Ethics agency, and he hasn't even been vetted.........................

7. PhT - Doctor of Trumpology. A truly worthless degree.

[hatrack]

8. Now, now! You need to look at what's in her heart, not what she writes or says or does or believes!

It's the Con Way.

9. Can PHD's be revoked?

[hexola]

10. Good question - she surely would not get away with it today...

Lots more technology for checking plagiarism these days...

13. I believe that any degree can be rescinded if obtained by fraud. Columbia dropped the ball on this.

When reading the article, the following popped out:

Side-by-side comparisons show Crowley lifted sentences, with a few words switched, from John Lewis Gaddis’s book Strategies of Containment: A Critical Appraisal of American National Security Policy During the Cold War and Thomas Christensen’s book Useful Adversaries: Grand Strategy, Domestic Mobilization, and Sino-American Conflict, 1947–1958, as well as other books and articles on foreign policy. In some instances, she cited the author in the text, but did not use quotation marks; in others, there is no attribution.

This shows that it was not a failure to attribute work, it was a deliberate attempt to lift and rewrite work.

As such, fraudulent intent appears to be there.

14. Yes, they can be

And, if this is correct, hers should be, and probably will be.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. Indeed!

"Although college and graduate school alumni may assume their diplomas are set in stone, there's no such thing as "no backsies" when it comes to college conferrals, as Joel McHale's character on the television show Community knows. McHale plays Jeff Winger, a lawyer who enrolls in community college after his degree is revoked. School administrators—both on television and in real life—seem to think of the degrees they dole out like driver's licenses, which can be suspended or revoked for bad behavior..."

And then gives 10 examples that will warm your heart.

18. Our local Superintendent had his EdD revoked...

He was busted for plagiarism in the press, and the university that awarded (or whatever) his doctorate took it away.

11. She's another devotee of Republican Family Values

Wow - when it comes to ethics or morality the Republicans never fail to disappoint.

[hexola]

12. In 4 years we can steal Trumps slogan...

Well - maybe we won't have to wait that long!

[chelsea0011]

15. Now, let's see if she withdraws. Anybody else would. Will she?

[NastyRiffraff]

19. When a candidate for a high post withdraws

Usually it's at the urging (orders, really) of the person nominating, or the nominating committee. Trump doesn't care about this kind of thing, so she'll very likely stay.

[SHRED]

17. She'll fit right in

[FairWinds]

20. Her thesis adviser at Columbia . .

Richard K. Betts, really should have caught this.

And for him to decline to comment now . . ?

Apparently, as the saying goes, it's OK if you are a Repub.
