When NBC news first covered the story, they also got interviews with some of Shankar’s ex colleagues at NUS. Those who they interviewed explained that they had no reason to doubt his credentials and they did not detect any irregularities in the papers that they had personally co-authored with Shankar.

This show how fucked up NUS is.

Re: Nus to start reviewing all of dr shankar’s research papers following fake phd sca

Sometime at the turn of the millennium NUS and NTU started to embrace 'diversity' by getting lots of foreign students and foreign professors.

The 'diversity' component helps with many of the university rankings. Good rankings generate higher enrolments and thus more revenue.

Anoop Shankar is a consequence of a greedy pro-FT policy.

Do you think that it is a coincidence that Anoop Shankar and Yang Yin happened around the same time? The chickens have finally come home to roost, and I believe that these incidents serve to teach us lessons. But will we learn?

No he isn't. All he said is that it is not the only path to success. There are many alternatives.

Following the discovery by the West Virginia University (WVU) that ex NUS Associate Professor Dr Anoop Shankar had lied about his credentials and his PhD being fake, NUS has started a review of all the academic publications that he published during the tenure with the university.

(See: NBC News: NUS hired an Associate Professor with a fake PhD)

An NUS spokesperson had said that “In view of the media reports on Anoop Shankar, NUS has initiated an internal investigation into his research publications when he was at NUS.”

Shankar, an Indian National had been working in the NUS department of Community, Occupational and Family Medicine as an associate professor for 4 years. In 2008, he moved to the US and joined WVU. He was later exposed when a professor at WVU was asked to review his resume prior to a proposed promotion.

The professor who made the discovery of Shankar’s fake credentials noted that he had plagiarized some of his academic articles, faked results, and had not in fact graduated from the institutions he claimed to have graduated from.

When NBC news first covered the story, they also got interviews with some of Shankar’s ex colleagues at NUS. Those who they interviewed explained that they had no reason to doubt his credentials and they did not detect any irregularities in the papers that they had personally co-authored with Shankar.

It is not known how many of Shankar’s publications contain fake results and plagiarism and NUS is now trying to find them all out so that any inconsistent papers can be retracted.

It is concerning that in the whole time Shankar was in NUS, he was never discovered until he went to the US. How stringent is NUS’ policy on the hiring of “Foreign Talent”?

NUS people who hired him ought to resign en masse.

This show how fucked up NUS is.

Most of these so-called co-authors are probably just fraudsters themselves and know close to nothing about the subject matter, and are only too happy to put their names down, so that they can meet the school's "KPI". They should also be investigated for dishonesty.

let us all also blame the pap for a fake phd, so called dr. elizabeth o'bagy, who managed to impress not only senator john mccain to quote her during senate hearings but also the secretary of state john kerry to mostly agree with her about foreign policy on syria. the problem is she's a credential fraud.

blame alone is not enough... this is a heinous crime. i suggest to behead the cock of the cockster who is in charge of immigration

Again nobody is held accountable for this fiasco.

The head of NUS and his superiors in the hierarchy should explain how this happens and the WP should do its job by raising this in parliament.
Highest paid in the world-shame on you.

Tertiary education is a business and an industry. Academics are more concerned with their research. Whether the students pass or fail, or gain anything useful from the lessons is of no concern to them.

It was no less stringent than UWV's policies as he worked there from 2008 to 2014 without being discovered either.

To try to cast NUS as being negligent while ignoring the fact that he succeeded in hoodwinking the US authorities too shows that the author is doing nothing more than trying to politicize the issue to put the PAP government in bad light. It's a pathetic effort to discredit the government and is nothing more than a cheap shot.

Who believes your retarded logic? Just see the facts. West Virginia University discovered his fraud. U can debate how long it took, you can debate how they discovered it, but the undeniable fact is that they discovered it. NUS on the other hand never did. That is a fact too. It makes the WVU a better school than NUS. One can amke the case that WVU was sold on NUS "reputation". They hired a prof whom they thought must be very good since he came from NUS,0 but discovered that the NUS vetting and admin was a world class joke. U can be sure that no US unis will hire anyone from NUS anymore without along hard look.

Whether or not the US unis have the same problem is irrelevant to most Sporeans. The fact is NUS dropped the ball & is being exposed as a half baked institution. What's worse is that NUS is supposed to be our premier University:biggrin:

Sir, with due respect to your argument, a phony is still a phony regardless when and how he was discovered.

The fraudster, B Madoff, was discovered after donkey years of operation in Wall Street, and he is still a scammer, no matter how good he was in running his business.
