Rutgers/Chronicle

Members of the Rutgers administration and faculty examined, both formally and informally, the charges reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education and found that the assertion that Professor Fischer had threatened a student to be unsubstantiated and that there are no instances in his writings of borrowing the ideas of other scholars.   Members of the Political Science Department.
