hola play Plagiarism Claims Are Brought Against University of Maryland’s President
The University of Maryland said it was conducting a review of claims that its president, Darryll J. Pines, plagiarized significant portions of a 2002 scholarly paper.
The university’s decision to conduct a review followed disclosures in The Daily Wire, a publication co-founded by the conservative activist Ben Shapiro. Dr. Pines asked that the allegations be investigated. While he acknowledged in a letter to the Maryland faculty that there had been “recurrent language,” in his work, he denied there was merit to claims of plagiarism.
The claim against Dr. Pines comes after a series of plagiarism accusations have been leveled at academics — many of them focused on diversity efforts in universities and many of them Black — in recent months. Most notably, anonymous plagiarism allegations against Claudine Gay, the former Harvard president, were among the factors that led to her resignation early this year.
