If you are so inclined, mail the dean of the school after you graduate. Focus on getting out instead of crap like this (i've seen it too). | |

| Feb 16, 2014 at 8:50 | comment | added | aeismail | That's what I meant. The advisor needs to be informed before going to the others. If there is no response, or the advisor dismisses it out of hand, then escalation is warranted. | |

If IndyJ thinks the adviser is ethical and wants to help the adviser salvage his/her reputation, IndyJ could notify the adviser first, anonymously, then wait a month and anonymously notify the victims of the plagiarism and let them take action. | |

| Jan 2, 2013 at 1:12 | comment | added | Suresh | I'd strongly recommend going to your advisor first. | |
| Jan 2, 2013 at 0:25 | comment | added | IndyJ | Thank you, that is a good point. The evidence is indisputable - large blocks of text, in some cases several pages, are copied and pasted (and duly cited (!) so easy to find in the original), but I do work in the same area as the dissertation adviser, and I don't want to embarrass him. | |
