College faculty member fired for plagiarism

No it's not Ward Churchill. But Argosy University's Chicago campus is adjusting to life after Bindu Ganga. An Argosy student discovered the plagiarism, and the university did the expected--harassed the student.

Argosy is a for-profit venture run by the Education Management Corp.

Last month the Chicago Sun-Times began pursuing the story, and Argosy responded predictably--it attacked the Sun-Times.

As the Chicago Sun-Times reports this morning, Ganga got canned last Friday. Her clinical psychology degree--also from Argosy--was taken away from her.

It's unlikely Argosy has a tenure system in place, but her dismissal is good news for those in the world who live their lives in an honest fashion.

As for Professor Churchill, here is the Rocky Mountain News report on Ward's alleged plagiarism.
