""The committee did determine that the two works highlighted last year contained select portions of text previously published by another author in the introductory sections. In a separate text, a discrepancy in assignment of authorship was made. However, President Pines was not found responsible for the inclusion of such text in any of the three works, nor was he found responsible for scholarly misconduct of any kind," College Park and system officials announced last week."
""found no evidence of misconduct on the part of President Pines,""
""I do consider it to be plagiarism, and not worthy of an academic.""
A joint investigation led by an outside law firm and involving campus and University System of Maryland officials found no evidence of misconduct by Darryll Pines. Pines had been accused of lifting roughly 1,500 words from a tutorial website for a 2002 co-authored paper and reusing that text in a 2006 publication. The inquiry included three rounds of external reviews and was extended to additional articles. Investigators identified attribution errors in some works and a discrepancy in assignment of authorship in a separate text, but did not find Pines responsible for scholarly misconduct. Officials expressed confidence in Pines's leadership going forward.
