University president, in an op-ed for the Hartford Courant, steals from a New York Times editorial. "I mistakenly assumed notes I had made were my own and I thus incorporated them without attribution," he explained. (Hartford Courant)<p>***I guess he thought he could get away with it, considering it was the Courant.***

Wonderful. A university president using an excuse I would not have accepted from my kids when they were, say, 6.<p>"Sorry...I was reading 'Down and Out in Paris and London' last night and mistook Orwell's writing for my own...sorry..."

Turns out this guy is a documented nut case.<p>Two years ago, Mr. Judd was reprimanded by the trustees for impersonating a police officer. He received a letter of "displeasure" from the board after he admitted that he had used flashing lights on his university-owned car, along with an official-looking badge, to pull over a driver who he thought was speeding on a street near Central Connecticut's campus. (Chronicle of Higher Education)<p>***So why would the Courant run anything this guy writes anyhow?***<p>[ March 10, 2004: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>

I wonder if it's one of those situations that the president is the school paper's publisher....
