#Singapore - NTU investigating senior #professor accused of #plagiarising former student’s work
"Prof Qu is the head of Chinese at the School of Humanities at NTU & deputy director of its Centre for Chinese Language & Culture. He was also Mr Wang’s final-year project supervisor in 2014 .. Checks by @straits_times found that more than 50% of Qu’s paper looked like a direct translation of Mr Wang’s 2014 paper, with no attribution to the latter." #shameful #academicintegrity
