"found no evidence of misconduct on the part of President Pines. The committee did determine that the two works highlighted last year contained select portions of text previously published by another author in the introductory sections, In a separate text, a discrepancy in assignment of authorship was made. However, President Pines was not found responsible for the inclusion of such text in any of the three works, nor was he found responsible for scholarly misconduct of any kind."
"as a personnel record under the Maryland Public Information Act and per UMD's Policy on Integrity and Responsible Conduct in Scholarly Work, the report is confidential."
"I do consider it to be plagiarism."
An external investigation led by a law firm examined allegations that President Darryll Pines lifted 1,500 words from a tutorial website for a 2002 paper and later reused that text in a 2006 publication. The investigation took more than a year and extended to other articles Pines wrote. The committee concluded there was no evidence of misconduct by Pines, while noting select portions of introductory text matched another author and a discrepancy in authorship assignment in a separate work. University System of Maryland and UMD have declined to release the full report, citing personnel-record confidentiality. Reported costs ranged from at least $199,999 to as much as $600,000.
