Multiple reports reveal instances of research misconduct by prominent figures in academia. Physicist Ranga Dias and University of Wisconsin's LaVar Charleston are accused of passing off old studies as new research. Dias' career faces scrutiny following a probe, while Charleston, a chief diversity officer, is alleged to have committed misconduct multiple times, including assaulting a police officer. Investigations at the University of Rochester also uncover evidence of research misconduct by Dias.
A fourth Black woman at Harvard was accused of plagiarism in an anonymous complaint amid a growing right-wing attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education. Tilly R. Robinson and Neil H. Shah report. https://t.co/KSCViigIZL
Update: An investigation by University of Rochester in New York into Ranga Dias has found evidence of research misconduct. https://t.co/4sAYJec82p
OK- this one I'll share. One of these Dept/Diversity C-levels seems to have literally passed off older papers, some by himself, as new journal-level work. Will say: it's a BRUTAL critique of his discipline that no one......noticed. https://t.co/RHfrLW7keC
