I don't blame Kinghorn or his predecessor for failing to find these problems. But I do hope he (or someone) will now take a look at the problems that have come to light in the last week or so--<i>not</i> Reeve's politics or incivility, but his unprofessional use of Facebook and his apparent plagiarism. I think that his plagiarism is particularly damning. How can we trust an instructor who repeatedly represents others' writings as his own to teach academic honesty and integrity in the classroom? Well, we can't. To suggest otherwise is absurd.

This happens. It's not the dean's fault or the chair's - it's the system that doesn't value accountability. It's been like this for years.
