I understand that the outcome of the investigation into an allegation of plagiarism against the person in question was that following an appeal, the Examination Assessments and Appeals Committee (EAAC) of the Institute found that the degree was not obtained in an unjustified or fraudulent manner and that the graduate was not guilty of plagiarism, as defined in the Institute's regulations. The EAAC further concluded that in light of the deficiencies in the thesis which had been identified, it is appropriate that corrections be made to the thesis by way of the insertion of a corrigenda notification in the official copy of the thesis. The management of academic affairs are a matter for the Institute concerned and I understand that this allegation was investigated according to the appropriate procedures governing such matters.
