MP links UB lecturer to plagiarism

Ngwaketse West legislator, Mephato Reatile told Parliament yesterday that the expatriate at the UB Department of Management was recently promoted to senior lecturer though there is evidence or reason to believe that he plagiarised journal articles. Reatile alleged that the contract of the lecturer in question was renewed under dubious circumstances.

He said that a citizen who was interested in the same position was disqualified after his application documents conveniently went missing. The MP said such things mar the image and standing of the UB, particularly its claims to the pursuit of academic excellence.
