| Description | Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard lifted portions of his master's and doctoral theses, an investigation has concluded, but the professors who reviewed the improper and missing citations recommended that Poshard keep his job and his academic degrees.
Poshard was following the same loose standards employed by some of his peers when he did his graduate work in the 1970s and 1980s, the committee said Thursday. Rather than disciplining the former congressman and gubernatorial candidate, they suggested that Poshard correct the doctoral dissertation based on today's academic standards.
The university's board of trustees, which has maintained its support for the beleaguered president since the allegations were raised six weeks ago, said Thursday that Poshard will continue as the leader of the state's second-largest university. |
