How do you expect the Technician to have decent articles otherwise?

10/19/2011 12:43:24 AM

I just joined the haters.

The Technician is an embarrassment, and it should be disaffiliated with the University.

Here is a sample of the kind of crap Dileep Karpur plagiarized:

Quote :

"Be consciously adventurous: Do things outside the box you come to school in. I do not think that I would have ever tried anything but soul food before coming here, but now my favorite food now is Mexican food. I’ve made lot of friends in N.C. State, and you cannot be culturally aware unless you talk to people who do not look like or think like you."

Dileep Karpur grew up eating soul food? No, Patricia Cunningham did (but she ended up liking Korean food, not Mexican food). It also turns out Patricia is really not a good writer. And like Dileep, she also makes glaring errors that her editor (if he or she exists) doesn't catch:

Quote :

"The problem is that education has fallen away from the thoughts that it is a liberatory process of stretching and your mind and wrestling with the hard issues that birth from everyday life. Most of what you do at college is what you do when you are not in class. Class is just the jump off; it is not the stopping point. Class gives you the equipment in part, it is up to you to earn and learn the rest of it."

WTF, people? This is humiliating.

if you don't love to write, don't accept a job where you have to submit articles for publication


lazy.

10/19/2011 1:28:17 AM

Orrrr.... you can just give credit to the original author.

10/19/2011 1:29:51 AM

pshhh

that's more work

10/19/2011 1:30:32 AM

Any official response from the Technician yet?

10/19/2011 1:30:41 AM

they're busy googling a response

10/19/2011 1:31:13 AM

I think he took dileep of faith thinking no one would ever find out about this

10/19/2011 1:35:57 AM

AHAAHAHAHAHA

10/19/2011 1:39:37 AM

Must be a foreign thing

10/19/2011 2:01:09 AM

Technician removed him from staff listings and deleted all his articles.

Going to have to say they snuffed that one.

10/19/2011 2:10:54 AM

Oh my God

oh technician

10/19/2011 8:11:07 AM

its sad to plagiarize an opinion piece

10/19/2011 8:14:08 AM

its the technician, did you really expect anything different?

they prob told him to do it, then threw him under the bus when he got caught

thats par for them

10/19/2011 8:14:18 AM

ha i can see that happening

i never really read that rag, except during football season

10/19/2011 8:19:23 AM

Patrica Cunningham should have renamed the article "Don't let your education get in the way of your education" to "Don't let your lack of education get in the way of your shitty attempt to be a writer."

BTW, is anybody friends with him? Dileep liked to post links to his articles on FB. If anybody is friends with him it would be interesting to see what might get posted on his comments today!

hah this was my first thought. Technician has been steadily getting worse and worse over the years. They need to have a management overhaul like they did with WKNC in the late 90s. Maybe that would save them from themselves.

In many countries, plagiarism is not only acceptable, but often encouraged.

10/19/2011 9:28:35 AM

China, yes.

India, not so much. At least not in Kerala. He'd be beaten publicly for that shit.

Fuck that guy with a rusty spear and throw him in the Ganges.

At least he excised the sentence with "liberatory".

Nonetheless...really? Plagiarizing an opinion piece from another large university newspaper? It's not like it will be posted on the Internet anyway...oh wait.

Seriously, dude, have some self respect and try not to drag what's left of Technican further down.

I don't know about that. I feel like every year we have at least one Indian student going up to the Office of Student Conduct for alleged plagiarism.

Tell that to their film industry.

My entire TWW persona was plagiarized from some Swedish dude on a car forum.
