[Vision2020] More Palouse Academics Speak Out

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

Nick is concerned about:

"intellectual honesty at Christ Church and its affiliated institutions."

Isn't that phrase an oxymoron?

  Greetings:

  Fourteen more Palouse academics have checked the two texts noted below and
have signed on to the petition.  Paul Kimmel's plagiarism just deepens our
concern about intellectual honesty at Christ Church and its affiliated
institutions.

  Tom, please add these new names to the petition on your invaluable webiste.

  We, the undersigned Palouse academics, strongly condemn the use of authors'
words without proper attribution.  This petition is in specific reference to
Douglas Wilson's and Steve Wilkins' booklet Southern Slavery As It Was (Canon
Press, 1996), in which many passages appear to have been copied from Robert
William Fogel's and Stanley L. Engerman's book Time on the Cross: The Economics
of American Negro Slavery (Little & Brown, 1974).
