Kansas Prog Blog Targets Wichita State Honcho With Pointless Plagiarism Post

The real question . . .

WHY WOULD ANYBODY BOTHER PICKING OVER THE CRUSTY DISSERTATION OF SOME FLYOVER COUNTRY UNIVERSITY LEADER?!?

Which brings us back to our main point . . .

ACTIVIST BLOGGING ISN'T NEWS . . . IT'S POLITICS & THEIR WORK PRODUCT SHOULDN'T BE CONFUSED WITH JOURNALISM!!!

To be fair . . .

We're sure there might be a dozen academics who care about this and so we'll share this sloppily attributed passage . .  .

What Wichita State University president Richard Muma did doesn’t look like a mistake to me.

Crafting the doctoral dissertation he submitted, for a degree he accepted, requires a string of deliberate choices. Those choices arguably disqualify someone who made them from holding a position of high academic leadership. That’s the takeaway from Kansas Reflector senior reporter Tim Carpenter’s investigative report on Muma, which uncovered more than 50 instances in which the leader failed to properly attribute scholars in his doctoral dissertation.

Such choices are not, as Muma suggested in a statement released Monday, “technical oversights.”

They point instead to trustworthiness and credibility.

Sorry . . . Just for the record . . .

WHO CARES?!?

In fact . . . 

We only shared this tidbit to demonstrate that nonprofit journalism is NOT going to save the struggling news industry.

Also . . . Tell your aunt to stop sending these people money.
