A note from my dept. chair:
_______________
Also, another application came in, I made it available to the committee electronically. However (and a BIG however...I've never had this happen to my knowledge) the teaching statement looked suspect so I did a quick google and yes, in fact, it is plagiarized (ttp://someones-statement-on-the-web.com).
That knocks this person out of any further consideration as far as I'm concerned...
_______________
Ya Think?!?!?
Seriously?! Who does that?!
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm not even sure if I would pass that application on to the committee (why bother?).
ReplyDeleteGeez. We've had folks change dates on rec. letters (to make them more recent), but have never seen this.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the second person (on the net) is the stealer of the statement and not the applicant?
ReplyDeleteComplicated situation for sure!
Ink, nah. The teaching statement refers to children several times. It is clearly not fashioned for a college audience. Hence, my chair's original suspicions.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes, I believe that one would go straight to the circular file.
