This may be the single most egregious structural failure I’ve seen in academia, out of a lot of egregious failures.
A system that suspends the person reporting academic fraud while conspiring to circle the wagons around the fraud itself is fundamentally, irreparably rotten.
Really doesn't matter what you think of Cofnas or his work. A university hired him, then he published a piece about Jason Arday based on well-supported claims about his plagiarism and fabulism that needed to come out, and now Cofnas is being disciplined.
I don't care what your opinions are about @nathancofnas's other work. It's completely irrelevant. Right now, he is being persecuted for being the only person courageous enough to tell the truth. It's unjust. The universities are desperate for a scapegoat for their own failings.

@BucketsOf_Rain There already was a woman involved, Milicent Bagot, inspiration for Connie Sachs in Tinker Tailor. "No place for women' blah blah blah just isn't true.
@yuanyi_z Aye. Like Guru-Murthy affecting not to know what 'sic transit' etc. means in his interview with Rees- Mogg. It's just strange, sends a very odd message.
@francessmith @Mark_George_QC Same thing happened on MSNBC after the Bloomberg campaign a few years ago. Sunak could give everyone a little over a tenner. The fact that a little alarm bell doesn't begin to go off before someone makes this kind of mistake says so much.
