The thought of someone getting an advanced degree for a short paper that was entirely plagiarized still boggles my mind.
Yeah, I think that's the real crime here. How could a professor let that go?
Isn't there a committee that checks that thesis? And didn't they already have plagiarism software? How did all of that happen to fail?
Who knows? Everything about the situation is absurd to me - I'd love to get an advanced degree for a 10 page paper or whatever he "wrote." Who can't write a 10 page paper? It's so embarrassing!
