Naglabas ng pahayag ang Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) kaugnay sa seryosong isyu ng academic ethics sa College of Social Sciences and Development at Department of Psychology.
Matatandaang lumutang noong Agosto 29 ang Facebook post ni Robert Owen Ganado na naglalaman ng reklamo kaugnay sa thesis nilang ginamit ng kanilang propesor nang walang pahintulot mula sa kanila.
“Our thesis was uploaded and submitted to the International Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Studies under the sole name of our professor,” lahad ni Robert. “The article appears as ‘Demystifying the Structure of Multiple Partners: Exploring the Relationship Dynamics of Polyamory in the Philippines,’ Volume III, Issue 6, June 2023. Our names were removed as authors, and we were not consulted or asked for our consent.”
Dagdag pa niya, “We were never informed about this submission, nor were we shown a final version or asked to sign any authorship or publication consent forms. For us, this is deeply frustrating and disheartening. It is embarrassing and disappointing that students who poured time, money, and effort into research could simply be erased from their own work.”
Misis, sinaksak ng mister sa leeg
Kaya naman ang sumbong na ito ni Robert ay tila suntok umano sa puso ng academic value ng PUP.
“This complaint strikes at the heart of our academic values, and PUP is responding with immediate and decisive action. An official investigation is underway to rigorously and impartially pursue the truth,” saad ng PUP.
Dagdag pa nila, “PUP is unwavering in its dedication to protect the integrity of our academic community, and we reaffirm our steadfast commitment to honesty, truth, and justice. The dignity of our students and the core values of service will always be upheld.”
Sa huli, hinikayat ang mga miyembro ng komunidad sa PUP na iulat ang mga katulad na reklamo sa University Legal Counsel Office sa pamamagitan ng email na ito [email protected].
