Dive Brief:

• The doctoral dissertation of the interim provost at Chicago State University is being examined for plagiarism.
• Angela Henderson is responsible for academic integrity at CSU, where a professor raised concerns that parts of her dissertation at University of Illinois at Chicago were copied or did not have proper attribution.
• One expert consulted by the Chicago Tribune reviewed Henderson's dissertation and deemed it "problematic."

Dive Insight:

There is the potential for more intrigue here: Henderson's dissertation committee included the president of Chicago State University, who is now Henderson's boss. They also previously worked together, and Henderson's husband is the president's personal attorney. Of course, this is not the only turmoil on campus. The administration is going after a faculty blog, too.
