Damn! Michelle Obama writes great papers as well?
Will Columbia rescind her PhD? Not likely, but one can hope.
It turns out that Green of Green/Lacour infamy was on her committee.
FOX: Old news.
Trump: For gods sake, she is a Republican, just let it go.
Monica: This is persecution of The Whites.
Snooky: Liberals never liked conservative women. Never.
Fortunately, the Trump team has a ready-made response to this story, which they used in their response to the last plagiarism story.
Universities do revoke PhDs, even many years later, if plagiarism is uncovered. Academic dishonesty is a serious issue, and I know of many talented individuals whose career was virtually ended because of a such a charge (even for less serious charges than plagiarizing the dissertation).
Melania Trump plagiarized, so it’s normal for the Trumpists.

My take is that Monica Crowley, Donald Trump’s choice for a top national security communications position, plagiarized multiple sections of her dissertation for her Columbia University Ph.D. in international relations, according to a Politico Magazine investigation published Tuesday.
Here in Germany there have been a couple of big scandals of high-level cabinet ministers who plagiarized their dissertations, among them Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, who, at the time of the scandal was Defense Minister and Annette Schavan who was, at the time of the discovery of her plagiarism, the Minister for Education and Research.
In both cases, the universities retracted their doctorates, and both resigned their positions as a result.
Now I am really, really interested to see if 1) Columbia reacts (as they should), and 2) if there will be any political fallout
I will be very, very disappointed if Columbia lets this slide, I must say.
I don’t expect there will be political fallout because the red-meat Gooper base hates intellectuals anyway, so no pressure, unless the Orange Menace uses this as a way to get one up on someone who achieved something he couldn’t.
PlagIARIST! Cite SOURCes foR THIS BLOCk quOTE. I guess STAndars ARE different FOR WHITe libtARD MEN. TYpical.
No wonder old Nixon liked her: she was a thief, just like him.
Putin plagiarized his doctoral dissertation.
If I remember the story correctly, he copied from the work of a previous student who did not actual finish the PhD.
In this part of the world, if a government official has a real PhD, people will be jealous:)
Wondering about Nixon’s last two books now.
If it was during his KGB time, he probably made sure that the other student couldn’t protest, if you know what I mean, wink, wink.
She has Rand Paul’s full support…
She was also 22, a fan and blonde, but hey, details.
I wonder if Nixon’s estate feels the same way.
People who do these things generally do them all their lives: They’ll, cheat on a golf game, use a plagiarized paper in high school, lie on job applications.
Time to mount a campaign to have Columbia revoke that PhD. Seems they take Academic Integrity pretty seriously.
In practical terms, [academic integrity] means that, as students, you must be responsible for the full citations of others’ ideas in all of your research papers and projects; you must be scrupulously honest when taking your examinations; you must always submit your own work and not that of another student, scholar, or internet agent.
Any breach of this intellectual responsibility is a breach of faith with the rest of our academic community. It undermines our shared intellectual culture, and it cannot be tolerated. Students failing to meet these responsibilities should anticipate being asked to leave Columbia.

Just another Trump skank. What can you expect? Sad.
