Once it emerged that Harvard’s former president, Claudine Gay, was a serial plagiarizer, conservatives started looking for other examples of plagiarizing in the halls of America’s colleges and universities. It turns out that this kind of search is akin to shooting fish in a barrel: You cannot fire without hitting something. The latest case is the DEI official at UCLA’s School of Medicine, an institution that’s completely abandoned itself to the worst excesses of DEI, CRT, and other Democrat madness. And as is so often the case, the culprit is a black woman.
The Daily Wire has the story:
According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry’s academic career is based on fraud. Perry has published a single paper, a 2014 Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Virginia about how colleges should create larger DEI programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without citations.
This is a depressing post, so I’ll leave you with a more uplifting, or at least amusing, approach to plagiarism when it happens on the left, in the form of this 1953 gem from Tom Lehrer about mathematical plagiarism in the Soviet Union:

Commentary:
It's become impressive on the number supposed erudite University professors and leaders of our institutes of knowledge have been caught plagiarizing their theses.
Ms. Widberg should be praised for further exposing this political can of worms.
