Dear All,

For several academics the most cherished facet of their profession, in
addition to scratching their personal itches, is the academic respectability
they enjoy amongst their peers. Here a social sanction is the most effective
and the most severe. For the last one week I have been reading emails that
severally criticize Prof. Anirban (anirbanmazumdar at hotmail.de) for his
actions. Irrespective of the identity of the offender Prof. Anirban (
animazum at hotmail.com) has been severely penalised. He has been discredited
as the author of the research paper and has faced severe criticism from
several group members. He has even stated that he is not the author of the
article. In such circumstances I deem it unnecessary to stretch the
controversy.

My sole intention in drawing the reading lists attention to the plagiarism
was establishing paternity. I feared that later onwards I could be accused
of the same since, "student plagiarism" is a defined term and "professor
plagiarism" is not. Hoping that the reading list reverts to dissecting legal
theories !

Regards

Apar Gupta
