Cincinnati Enquirer: UC: German expert plagiarized

A longtime University of Cincinnati librarian could lose his job after an investigating committee determined he plagiarized parts of his German-American history textbook published six years ago.

But Don Heinrich Tolzmann, a local historian and president of the German-American Citizens League of Greater Cincinnati who’s worked at UC for 32 years, denies wrongdoing and said he intends to “vigorously defend” himself against any efforts to terminate his job.
