Boston University isn't known for academic excellence.

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.
