The president of Hungary had a little help writing his doctoral thesis. The president, Pal Schmitt, had his doctorate revoked Thursday after it was discovered he hijacked portions of his 1992 thesis on the Olympics straight from two other works. More than 200 pages of his 215-page thesis were either partial or direct copies. What does that leave for originality? The cover page and footnotes? He’s been mocked on the Internet with memes like Ph+D = (Ctrl+C) + (Ctrl+V), the Wall Street Journal says. Schmitt says he has no plans to resign over the scandal.
