KMT labels DPP officials plagiaristsTIT FOR TAT: A KMT official said that members of the oral defense committee for incoming Control Yuan president Chen Chu’s thesis had close ties to the DPPBy Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) yesterday questioned the authenticity of theses from prominent Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members, calling on the party to hold its members to the same academic standard it used to judge Kaohsiung City Councilor Jane Lee (李眉蓁). Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Culture and Communications Committee chairwoman Alicia Wang at a news conference in Taipei yesterday points to a poster with allegations about Democratic Progressive Party officials having plagiarized their academic theses. While professors, Wu and Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chen Ming-tong (陳明通) served as thesis advisers for many prominent DPP members, Wang said. Wang said that these DPP officials should explain why they appear to have plagiarized other people’s work. DPP spokeswoman Yen Juo-fang (顏若芳) said the KMT has become so desperate that it is now attempting to vilify the DPP.
