Hotchkiss did not say whether Princeton would open a full investigation into the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>The review follows months of silence by the university, which says it &#8220;overlooked&#8221; a December 6 email from the economic historian Phil Magness about possible instances of plagiarism in Kruse&#8217;s academic work. Magness didn&#8217;t receive a substantive reply from the university until June 17, three days after he published an <a href=\"https:\/\/reason.com\/2022\/06\/14\/twitter-famous-princeton-historian-kevin-kruse-plagiarist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article in <em>Reason<\/em><\/a> outlining the evidence that Kruse repeatedly plagiarized other scholars&#8217; books.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We take such allegations very seriously, and we will carefully consider the concerns you have raised,&#8221; Deputy Dean of the Faculty Toni Turano told Magness in an email reviewed by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>. &#8220;Please feel free to send us any additional information to explain and support your allegations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In public, Princeton has been much less solicitous. It has not posted an official statement on any university website, nor did it reply to <em>Reason<\/em>\u2018s or the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>\u2018s requests for comment when the story first broke.<\/p>\n<p>The hushed delays accentuate the contrast between Princeton&#8217;s treatment of Kruse and its treatment of Joshua Katz, the star classics professor who criticized the school&#8217;s racial politics. University officials condemned Katz\u2014and implied publicly they were investigating him\u2014days after he published his criticisms in a July 2020 essay for <em>Quillette<\/em>. When they received &#8220;new information&#8221; about a consensual relationship he&#8217;d had with a student over a decade earlier, it took them less than a month to launch a formal investigation, which <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/inside-the-investigation-of-joshua-katz\/\">resulted in his dismissal in May<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast between Katz and Kruse has raised eyebrows among alumni and current students, who say it suggests a political double standard at the Ivy League school.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;\u200b\u200bWill Professor Kruse face Katz&#8217;s fate\u2014stripped of tenure and fired?&#8221; Princeton senior Abigail Anthony <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2022\/06\/will-princeton-investigate-a-progressive-professor-for-plagiarism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked in <em>National Review<\/em><\/a>. &#8220;If so, Princeton students will learn a lesson in whom not to copy from. If not, they will learn instead that the rules don&#8217;t apply to the people with power and the \u2018correct&#8217; opinions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kruse has made a name for himself by accusing conservatives\u2014especially Christian conservatives\u2014of distorting history, prompting the <em>Chronicle of Higher Education<\/em> to dub him &#8220;history&#8217;s attack dog.&#8221; Those attacks became less frequent after the plagiarism allegations came to light: Kruse, who would regularly post Twitter threads attacking Republicans, has not been active on the platform since June 14.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus University has not said whether it will open a full investigation into Kevin Kruse  Princeton history professor Kevin Kruse \/ Wikimedia Commons  Aaron Sibarium<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":184,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1587365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/184"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1587365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1587365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1587365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1587365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
