One professor forwarded to his school's academic ethics watchdog a letter exposing another professor's act of plagiarism. The alleged dishonesty was confirmed. Both professors have been suspended from their faculty positions.
No, I'm not wrong. Both. Not one.
I won't be surprised if this had happened in a government office. But it took place at one of the best-known institutions of higher learning here in Beijing. I'm not the kind of Chinese journalist who's accustomed to reporting without naming names. But, pardon me this time, I feel too ashamed to name that otherwise well-respected college.
