\nValidation of University Titles, Diplomas and Certificates in Romania has today
\ndecided that the head of the country’s National Anti-corruption Directorate,
\nLaura Codruta Kovesi isn’t guilty of plagiarism in her doctoral thesis. Council
\nmembers decided there are no severe irregularities in Kovesi’s thesis and
\nproposed that she keep her doctoral title. The plagiarism notification has been
\nfiled by an NGO. In mid-November, the Committee for Ethics with the
\nTimisoara-based West University announced that 564 rows in Kovesi’s doctoral
\nthesis were similar with other texts. Experts said the notification was partly
\ngrounded and justified. A series of public personalities in Romania, including
\npoliticians and high officials, have lately been involved in plagiarism
\nscandals. <\/p>\n
