I disagree. True, well supervised dissertation research in a reputable university is loaded with integrity. Even the front part of the work (Library research) thoroughly reviewed and adequately referenced. In lesser schools, where the Ph.d faculty is overwhelmed with advisees and the pay is so bad, it is in that environment where the quality of the research and the skimpy attention given to proper referencing, etc. In the case of the London School of Economics, based on my 46 years of university graduate teaching and research, I would fire the Ph.d dissertation advisor first and then strip the holder of that Ph.d from the degree. The school should further return every dollar received as a result of the freebie. Eli from a premier Virginia graduate school of business.
