French journalism school executive accused of plagiarism
The executive director of a journalism school has been suspended after being accused of plagiarism.
Agnès Chauveau apparently cut and pasted parts of articles that had appeared in a newspaper called Le Monde and other French publications for her columns published on the Huffington Post website.
Bruno Patino, director of the school at the respected Institute of Political Sciences, known as Sciences Po, wrote to students and staff on Monday saying the allegations could not be taken lightly. “Plagiarism is a serious matter in journalism,” he said in an email.
Plagiarism is wrong, and now this journalism school, is going to be under attack due to what a person who is very high up in the school has done. That is a school boy error that Students are not allowed to do let alone a executive director. This will now give a negative representation on this school causing less people to be interested in it for the right reasons.
