UF professor Twitchell admits he plagiarized in several of his books

A University of Florida English professor has admitted to plagiarizing in several of his books, triggering an internal ethics inquiry and potentially jeopardizing his reputation in academia and beyond. Potentially??!! I’m no legal/English language/academic expert, but I’d say plagiarizing several of your books would no doubt jeopardize your reputation in academia and beyond…

“I have used the words of others and not properly attributed them. I am always in a hurry to get past descriptions to make my points, a hurry that has now rightly resulted in much shame and embarrassment. I have cheated by using pieces of descriptions written by others.”
