Plagiarizing Trump pick jumps ship

[someoneyouknow]

After being outed for plagiarizing several of her columns, for plagiarizing large portions of her book and for plagiarizing portions of her Ph.D., Monica Crowley, chosen by Trump to be senior director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, has run for the hills:

All that fake communication finally caught up with her.

She's not the first to be caught plagiarizing the professional works of others and won't be the last. What surprises me the most in these current times of investigative background journalists and hobbyists is any plagiarist in the public eye not realizing their vulnerability to exposure.

I think one might be somewhat forgiven when writing a book if they plagiarized a few lines either without realizing it (you read them so long ago but when writing the lines didn't remember you had read it) or failed to make proper citations.

It is quite another to plagiarize your columns and most especially your Ph.D.

As a side note, can a university revoke someone's Ph.D. for plagiarism?

Withhold or deny? Absolutely. Revoke. Yes, that's been done.

As a general rule, every statement in your dissertation must be common knowledge, supported by citation to technical literature, or else original results proved by the candidate (you).

Very glad to hear that. She is a nightmare. Unbearable woman. Worse than Kelly Ann!

Thank you for the two citations. I had presumed it was possible but had never heard of it happening (and was too lazy to go look).
