NYC Prof Accused of Plagiarism Keeps Job

NEW YORK (AP) - A Columbia University professor whose colleagues found a noose hanging from her office doorway will remain on staff despite being sanctioned for plagiarism, school officials said Thursday.


The university's Teachers College announced Wednesday it had imposed "serious sanctions" against Madonna G. Constantine. The college said a lengthy investigation uncovered numerous instances in which she used others' work without attribution in papers she published in academic journals over the past five years.

Her lawyer said she had been targeted because of her race and hinted the sanctions and noose incident were linked, claims Teachers College spokeswoman Marcia Horowitz denied.

The inquiry into Constantine was launched in 2006, well before the noose—a symbol of lynchings in the Deep South—was discovered this past October, the school said.

Details of the sanctions were not released, but Horowitz said Constantine was not suspended and will remain a tenured professor.
Horowitz said the case was reviewed by an outside law firm as well as a panel of current and former professors at Teachers College.

Interesting.

 

now now.... lets don't rush to any conclusions. I'm sure the incidents are unrelated. Everybody knows the racists history of Columbia University.
