And last, I should apologize to New St. Andrews College. Academic integrity is the heartbeat of any academic institution, and even though the board has acted promptly and wisely in accepting Randy’s resignation, I am still distressed by the headache this has caused them.

“Indisputable ×3”
“Speaking of ‘professors,’ how can these guys get by with this plagiarism? Indisputable ×3. . . . The proper response is not to attack Rachel but to admit the truth.” Scot McKnight
“Looking at the two relevant sections, side by side, we know that there is a citation problem.”
All that said, at an objective minimum, there is a gross citation problem in Driscoll’s book Trial, which needs to be acknowledged, owned and corrected. Looking at the two relevant sections, side by side, we know that there is a citation problem. What we don’t know is why or how it got there, about which more in a little bit. But regardless, however it got there, it needs to get out of there. The problem should be owned and corrected, in public, by the author and the publisher. The same goes for anything comparable.
