The liberal perspective:
- A plagiarism complaint against Robin DiAngelo, author of 'White Fragility', has been dismissed by the University of Washington
- The complaint cited 20 instances of alleged research misconduct in DiAngelo's 2004 doctoral thesis
- The university found that the evidence did not meet the definition of plagiarism
- DiAngelo's thesis reused exact or slightly tweaked wordings of other scholars without proper referencing
- The university allowed for the reuse of a moderate amount of language to describe commonly used methodology or background information
