Trustee plagiarism ‘amazing’

Almost exactly two years ago the dean of the faculty of medicine at the University of Alberta lost his job for exactly the same thing that Ms. Macaulay admits to — that is, plagiarizing a graduation speech. That someone who is a school trustee admits to “not knowing the full extent of what plagiarism is” is absolutely amazing.
