The 35-year-old Sandra Borch resigned after admitting plagiarising of other students work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Oslo, Norway: <\/b><\/p>\n
Norway’s research and higher education minister Sandra Borch resigned on Friday after admitting plagiarising other students’ work, including their faults, in her masters’ dissertation.<\/p>\n
“I made a big mistake,” the 35-year-old Borch told a hastily arranged press conference. “I used the texts of other dissertations without quoting the source. I am sorry.”<\/p>\n
Norwegian media had earlier highlighted similarities between her 2014 text and other works, notably those of two other students. None had been quoted in references.<\/p>\n
A student who revealed the affair on X, the former Twitter, said Borch had lifted word for word a passage from another dissertation and left the typing mistakes.<\/p>\n
The issue is particularly embarrassing for Borch because she decided last week to take to the Supreme Court the case of a student who had been cleared on appeal of self-plagiarism for using passages of her own work.<\/p>\n
The Centre Party deputy became higher education minister last year in the centre-left government after previously serving as agriculture minister from 2021 to 2023.<\/p>\n
Borch’s dissertation at Tromso university in 2014 focused on safety regulations in the oil industry.<\/p>\n
Several members of the Norwegian government have resigned in recent months because of conflicts of interest controversies.<\/p>\n
