Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

It’s the old underling defense again. Where have we seen that before… Charles Nemeroff?

Oh, well… it’s only ‘their text’ not their ‘intellectual capital’– and it was only ‘reproduced’, not actually appropriated– and it was only ‘sometimes’, not habitually– and it was, after all, someone else’s fault.
I declare a verdict of ‘Not guilty, much.’

ZEGEYE was known all along a serialist plagiarist. He was appointed at Wits as “a viable black candidate” against the advice then given by those who knew his record. He went on and destroyed the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research, which for ten years was one of the few intellectual hubs in South Africa.
He was hired at The Hawke Institute via the patronage of his ‘friend’ Pal Ahlaluwa who now plays a major role in the University of Southern Australia.
The scandal is bigger than we think. I am sure that this trickster who parades as an academic will pop up elsewhere pretty soon, unfortunately.

This serial plagiarist worked at UNISA (University of South Africa) for many years. He was known in that institution as a plagiarist. Wits hired him because of their stinky ‘black transformation’ policy. And for sure, he left Wits stinking.
Now it is true he destroyed WISER in the process. But so did the funding agencies that funded WISER, especially Mellon. Mellon withdrew funding once they saw a black director coming. They gave the money to the former director who went and set up a phony African Humanities Institute in Cape Town. This phony Institute is not African at all, nor is it interested in Africa.
This corruption and patronage by funding agencies is just as stinky as Zegeye’s plagiarism.

OMG! he is now working in newly established University in ethiopia named Woldia university.i think he is hiding himself in this university because no one know he was plagiarist)
