GMU Paralyzed by Plagiarism Investigation

Update: A new verion of the Mashey report is attached, with a whole new section of juicyย emails

Plagiarism charges against George Mason University statistician Edward Wegman have brought the universityโ€™s administration to an apparent standstill, according to the latest report from John Masheyย (attached).

Wegman actually stands accused of having committed a host of infractions with the โ€œAD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT ON THE โ€˜HOCKEY STICKโ€™ GLOBAL CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONโ€ that he presented to Congress in 2006. The worst, however (and the easiest to prove) is that he or his co-authors plagiarized a huge amount of material from a book by one of their targets, Raymond Bradley. In many cases, the only differences between Wegmanโ€™s lifted quotes and Bradleyโ€™s original material occurred when Wegman (or his assistants) changed the text to change theย meaning.

Per Masheyโ€™s report, Rice University received a similar complaint against one of Wegmanโ€™s co-authors, David R Scott. Rice responded immediately, investigating the charge and clearing Scott as the culprit in nine days. Nine MONTHS later, GMU has made no finding. We wait with interest โ€ฆ.
