#3 Joe Levine would not say how Constantine was punished, but college officials said her position is secure.

Circle the wagons time. Pretty much sums up all of academia land these days. It is rotten to the core.

#4 The school accused her of plagiarism because of the "structural racism that pervades this institution,"

Damned white folks, expecting you to give credit where it's due.

#6 "Constantine said she would appeal to a faculty committee."

It ain't over yet folks. In fact, Constantines attorney Paul Giacomo said that in fact it was Constantine who was plagiarized by her accusers and not the other way around. They call it the ole "I know I am but what are you" defense.

#10 if it was a student who plagarized something they would be expelled and their life pretty much ruined

#12 TEnure is a good idea that needs to be modified. Bringing shame upon yourself or your university should be grounds for the pulling of tenure. PUblicity stunts and plagarism would sure apply.

#13 Most state universities can pull tenure and substitute existing civil servant protect laws and regulation which are themselves strong enough to protect the incompetent but certainly opens the process to dismissal for criminal conduct. Plagiarism means someone else's intellectual property was stolen.

#14 The last refuge of the Race Pimp.

#15 I.m with Gorb on this one; timing seems a bit suspicious to me: she knew she was under invertigation for the plagarism, so maybe, just maybe, she happened to place this chunk o' rope on a doorknob, and this chunk o' rope just happened to look like a noose. Then it gets reported to the authorities in an effort to deflect the plagarism investigation and instead focus on the poor little victim of a hate crime.

Are there any reports of the police doing a DNA on the rope?

#16 Ret, Michelle Malkin has been on the case over at her blog. It appears that there was a security video of the place in question around the time of the alleged incident. The investigation all sort of disappeared from the public attention when that part came out and no further official announcements were issued to address the incident or the investigation. We're left with speculation that they did ID a person of interest who they are now protecting for obvious reasons [it didn't fit their Dukeboarding bigotry].
