I thought some old-timers who remember the 2009 Nez controversy would appreciate this article from 2011, in which the superintendent who was his nemesis got caught plagiarizing an article from another website in a letter sent to staff: http://www.azcentral.com/community/gilbert/articles/2011/05/05/20110505higley-superintendent-plagiarism-letter.html Seems to me that plagiarism is a form of using someone else's resources without permission. Hmm. |

"I do not think the letter is the issue. Harry Truman had it right ... "The buck stops here". As an executive she may delegate some authority but never responsibility. To blame her secretary was indeed tacky and does not set a positive example for those staff and students under her care". Good comment from the article & very apt! |

A very weak argument for plagarism. She didn't profit or gain anything by quoting someone without a footnote. I don't think an email praising teachers and only sent to a limited number of people meets the standard definition of plagarism. This isnt a thesis or news article or even a book. Its an email. If I've ever quoted someone in an email I doubt I provided sources quite a nonstory though I do think this individual treated Nez Harshly In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

Nez? Never herd of Him... I realised that but put the link there for anyone who doesn't know, using your post as a quote. Double sarcasm? |

Definitely, and until he was found all speculated as to who Nez was and how his RAC was s high. Nobody knew where he was located at that time, and crunching as an individua. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Seems to me that plagiarism is a form of using someone else's resources without permission. Hmm. As someone who knows the results/ramifications of a superior being accused of plagiarism in a grant proposal, I'm having a hard time with quoting in an e-mail (without citation) also being called plagiarism a bit hard to swallow. If that's the case, apply that to EVERY post here. EVERY post on a social networking. And so on. |
