| Mar 2 at 9:08 | comment | added | psychcphyscst | @CaptainEmacs This is a really important point - maybe you can consider adding an answer? Or I can edit my answer, now selected "best" answer (although definitely not "best" IMO). | |
| Mar 1 at 21:04 | comment | added | Captain Emacs | @Nicolaus See my comment above. If the person in question did plagiarize or other academic misdeeds, these should be reported as such to the relevant entities. If the person has a fraudulent employment status, that may not be your business, but it's also your right as upright citizen to report that. But what I found very questionable is that you seem to intend to cross-retaliate against the alleged academic misdeeds of the prof using a completely unrelated employment matter. That would be ethically very questionable and you would be playing private avenger. | |
| Mar 1 at 13:10 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | Your question was about a person being employed by two universities. HR is the obvious department to check that. So I don't get your point. | |
| Mar 1 at 12:57 | comment | added | Nicolaus | People in HR can't check certain types of misconduct which at best is outsourced to other institutions. | |
| Mar 1 at 12:54 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | That is not how universities work; not that there aren't any problems, but the problems are not what you describe. Even small universities are big bureaucracies, and the careers of people working in HR do not depend on professors: the academic hierarchy is completely separate from the staff hierarchy. | |
| Mar 1 at 12:40 | comment | added | Nicolaus | Unless there is an independent actor/investigator in this matter nothing will happen since the professor in question has comitted a number of fraudulent acts before when he was just a researcher and was covered up every single time. If you have a small clique of influential professors determined in assisting you very few people from the same academic environment will be willing to attack you given that they will risk their own careers. | |
| Mar 1 at 12:33 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | If you feel that way you can tell the HR department of your university. They are the ones that can take action. Just don't expect them to tell you what happens next. | |
| Mar 1 at 12:15 | comment | added | Nicolaus | There are some reasons to believe that the arrangement is not legal and given that nobody really cares beside those responsible for it I think something should be done about it. Also that professor has embarked on a career of fraud a long time time ago and has been assisted by another more prominent full prof of low moral standing who would reward loyalty above everything else even if the person being rewarded showed kindergarden level understanding and research output in their field. So I feel I should do something about it. | |
