	Scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A scandal is a widely publicized incident involving allegations of wrong-doing, disgrace, or moral outrage.
		Some scandals are broken by a whistle-blower revealing wrongdoing within an organization or a group.
		Another major type of scandal is a corporate scandal, especially corporate accounting scandals.

	Bancroft Prize in 2001
		Academics such as professor Bordua argue that the ease with which his book was accepted by academics is even more shocking than Bellesiles' deficient scholarship.
		The charitable interpretation is that academics, like anyone else, are not as critical of arguments that support their prejudices as they are with those that are less comforting.
		Academic prizes are seen as rewards for your friends or fellow travelers.

	The Myth of Academic Deviance
		A cursory glance at academic newspapers, internet bulletin boards and, of course, the recent spate of books, suggests that an epidemic of academic crimes and misdemeanors--ranging from plagiarism to the fabrication of data-- is sweeping through the groves of academe.
		The postmodernist argues that academic malfeasance is a mutable, ideologically saturated affair.
		Scandals are posited as the result a virus, passing from one infected individual to another; they demonstrate the pathological symptoms of a disease-infected academic polity.

	acta online: Scandal fatigue
		The University of California, for example, is arguably experiencing scandal fatigue at present, as outrage about corrupt administrative salary practices and skyrocketing fees is compounded by the news that illegal aliens attending state campuses enjoy a discounted in-state tuition rate of $6,700 per year, while U.S. citizens from other states pay $24,500.
		Academic scandal fatigue, as the Colorado Daily uses it, appears to refer both to the public's exhaustion at seeing an institution of higher education endlessly and repetitively embarrass itself and to the phenomenon of a university's repetitive, incidental self-shaming over time.
		In other words, scandal fatigue arises when a college or university not only can't seem to get it right, but also can't seem to get the ongoing chronicle of its failings out of the media.

	Sokal Affair
		This caused an academic scandal, both at Duke University (where Social Text is published) and for Sokal himself, as charges of unethical behaviour were levelled.
		By his use of parody in statements like 'mathematics has "nineteenth-century liberal origins"' and 'the gravitational constant of Newton is mired in "ineluctable historicity"', Sokal claimed to be demonstrating that some academics will gladly trade intellectual rigour for "what sounds good".
		Most academic journals submit prospective articles to a blind peer-review.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Protecting the Persecutors by Professor X
		Before the Bradford scandal ever broke, Roisman's erratic behavior had already brought embarrassment to the law school twice in recent years; and yet it is clear that someone high up in the central administration is protecting her.
		This is either because she has been at the school a long time, or because of her close connections to the national office of the American Civil Liberties Union, or because this powerful administrator agrees with Roisman's radical politics.
		Because Roisman was given a Chair to cover up the previous scandal, and Roisman's ally Mitchell holds a Chair she doesn't deserve, Bradford will receive no help from the administration in the new scandal.

	Scholarships Based on Scholarship
		The latest academic scandal is that scholarships are beginning to be based on— scholarship.
		Those unfamiliar with academic Newspeak may need a translation: Students who do well academically are receiving a "privilege" rather than a reward when they get scholarships, because they are likely to come from middle-class or higher-income families, who promote academic achievement among their children.
		While youngsters from low-income families who do well academically are equally eligible for scholarships and admission to elite colleges, their academic levels often will not get them past the community college levels.

		An academic scandal can get your name in the paper and on television quicker than a slap shot from the blue line in hockey.
		Marra said the catalyst for the renewed emphasis on academic affairs stemmed from three areas: the scandals at other universities, the need to provide more specialized academic support for athletes in need, and the desire to stay competitive athletically.
		For the academic advisor, then, or the learning specialist, a strong and credible rapport with the student-athlete is key to any successful academic exchange.

		The scandal actually began about a decade ago, when a growing cadre of Academic Emperors began empire-building within American universities.

		Sokal decided to submit his gibberish to Social Text, a prestigious academic journal that has promoted the new cultural criticism as a radical political movement.
