Review finds IT Tralee standards below par

Weak oversight of research degrees, risky procedures around research ethics, and poor guidance on plagiarism and academic referencing have been found at Institute of Technology Tralee.

The college says it has already implemented 13 of the 22 changes recommended in a review of its postgraduate research degrees, prompted by the case in which former chairman Flan Garvey was cleared of plagiarism in a master’s degree thesis last May.
