With plagiarism regarded as anathema to the academic project, the University contacted the Professor to respond to these grave allegations, in line with a process that is “lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair”.
The intention was for the University to fully consider the matter at hand and to decide on the applicable course of action.
The Professor has since submitted a letter, effectively relinquishing his honorary title as Adjunct Professor. The University has accepted his decision to step down and, as a result, has officially parted ways with the Professor.
There is therefore no further link between Mandela University and the Professor.
