The Chronicle: Columbia U. Says Professor Repeatedly Plagiarized Students and Colleagues
In a strange twist of events, a professor at Columbia University who reported finding a noose outside her office door last fall has been reprimanded after an investigation concluded that she had committed numerous acts of plagiarism over several years.
The investigation, which was conducted by a law firm hired by the university, found that Madonna G. Constantine, a professor of psychology and education at Columbia’s Teachers College, was guilty of plagiarism in at least two dozen instances, borrowing passages from both colleagues and students without attribution. The findings of the investigation were first reported by the university’s student newspaper, the Columbia Spectator, which obtained a copy of a memorandum from administrators at Teachers College to faculty members.
