The lead from the Chronicle of Higher Education:

"In a strange twist of events, a professor at Columbia University who reported finding a noose outside her office door last fall has been reprimanded after an investigation concluded that she had committed numerous acts of plagiarism over several years."

Oh, please do post the results! It'll be tough to top my favorite Chronicle story to date, though, involving my ex.

That's my favourite now! Who is your ex?

Gosh, and I thought my department was bad.

The muckraker, Alexei Kojevnikov. He was many things (we parted on friendly terms), but stupid wasn't one of them.

AWESOME!

Yeah, I was googling random people I hadn't seen in a while, and that was the first thing that popped up. Never did have the heart to e-mail him and offer sympathy.

Did the Chronicle have the response from her lawyer (which I read in one of the New York papers) that they wouldn't have done this to her if she were a white professor?

OPPRESSOR!

Yeah, I think that came across when I read it last night. I can't recall if they had the specific quote, but it was definite a BIG RACIST WITCH HUNT all right.
