A committee of scholars appointed by Boston University concluded today that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. plagiarized passages in his dissertation for a doctoral degree at the university 36 years ago.
"There is no question," the committee said in a report to the university's provost, "but that Dr. King plagiarized in the dissertation by appropriating material from sources not explicitly credited in notes, or mistakenly credited, or credited generally and at some distance in the text from a close paraphrase or verbatim quotation."
Despite its finding, the committee said that "no thought should be given to the revocation of Dr. King's doctoral degree," an action that the panel said would serve no purpose.
But the committee did recommend that a letter stating its finding be placed with the official copy of Dr. King's dissertation in the university's library.
一朝为五斗米折腰，好过多年背负学生贷款，我的个人想法。有20个名额。
不过要求应该不低，等于BU用钱买尖子生，各得其所。
原来有抄袭嫌疑
“A Trustee Scholarship covers full undergraduate tuition plus mandatory undergraduate student fees”
这个奖学金包括全部学杂费，但没有提生活费 (meal and board).
不止是嫌疑。BU有正式调查结果(1991):

浪费时间精力和金钱
我们这儿也有一个去了H的也是说拒了这个奖。难道Duke跟他们说，你一点头我们就立刻批准生效？

不过想起来其他学校的确是网站上只列出真正去了的得奖人。没去的就不写了。类似发录取和最后报道人数的区别？
况且这并不是真正的全奖(full ride), 只是个学费全免奖。这个奖对T10类学生基本上没有吸引力。
虽然可以拿学费全免
收入真的有限，越好的学校越affordable
不过现在少吃点更健康
