Pretty suspicious, isn’t it? And even more so now that you’re finding significant plagiarism in disciplines other than mechanical engineering.<br /><br />The only exceptions seem to have been the campus newspaper’s articles and editorials and Professor Bloemer, coauthor of the Meyer-Bloemer report. But he was forsaken by the rest of the campus through its silence and lack of enthusiasm for the report. And it’s utterly deplorable that the ingrate-provost that had commissioned his report insulted him (under oath) at the Mehta trial (see below). He had the courage and conviction to stand up to the administration instead of being their lackey by writing what they wanted, the way they wanted it. Bravo, Professor Bloemer!<br /><br />When OU’s central administration finally accepted the fact that the engineering college was incapable of policing itself, the Post (OU’s campus newspaper) wrote about it on May 2, 2008:<br /><br />Plagiarism: College seeks out external reviewers<br />http://thepost.baker.ohiou.edu/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=24580&SectionID=17&SubSectionID=35&S=1<br /><br />There were reader comments published in the online edition of this article but they are no longer archived online. Here’s one of them that, among other things, rightly praised Professor Bloemer and condemned the shabby treatment he received.<br /><br />--------------------------------<br /><br />“So … now that the foxes have admitted that their guarding of the hen house the past four years smells bad, someone outside the engineering college, but still internal to Ohio University, will be asked to do what the university has repeatedly demonstrated that it is too corrupt to do.<br /><br />Will that someone suffer a similar fate as that of Professor Bloemer, the only professor at OU with the guts to speak up forthrightly and forcefully in defending the university against plagiarism? For his well intended and honest service to OU, he was stabbed in the back at the Mehta trial.<br /><br />When the Meyer-Bloemer report was released two years ago, much more should have been done than is being done now. But it wasn’t so further damage to OU’s reputation continued needlessly for another two years.<br /><br />Provost Krendl should’ve fired engineering dean Irwin two years ago. When she didn’t, President McDavis should’ve fired both Irwin and Krendl. When he didn’t, OU’s Board of Trustees should’ve fired … well, that’s what’s really become the biggest problem since the plagiarism scandal was discovered: OU’s entire administrative chain of command is so invested in its past mistakes for so long now that it shouldn’t be entrusted with resolving the scandal in the future. Incompetent leadership gridlock at OU has become an integral part of the scandal itself.<br /><br />The opportunity for better leadership was fumbled two years ago when OU didn’t clean house. New leadership with better ideas and fresh approaches – that’s what was needed two years ago and that’s what’s still needed now.<br /><br />Krendl questioned about ‘kiss of death’ report<br />http://www.thepost.ohiou.edu/Articles/News/2008/01/10/22333/”<br /><br />--------------------------------<br /><br />Note: The link at the bottom of the comment above is to another article (about the Mehta trial) and is broken; but this one isn’t:<br />http://thepost.baker.ohiou.edu/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=22633&SectionID=17&SubSectionID=35&S=1Post Ghostnoreply@blogger.com
