This book offers a candid narrative on the dangers of academic dishonesty and how universities fail to hold their leaders accountable. Dr. Swain also reveals her own experience as a victim of Gay’s plagiarism and the lack of legal recourse available to those affected by such misconduct.

regardless of race.
