Show notes

Richard Muma earned his doctorate 20 years ago before climbing the ranks at Wichita State University, becoming president in 2020. Now, an investigation by Kansas Reflector senior reporter Tim Carpenter has found dozens of instances where Muma copied someone else's work into his doctoral dissertation without adequate attribution. Carpenter joins editor in chief Sherman Smith to talk about the story and how he reported it. Correction: Kansas Reflector exchanged emails and/or phone calls with Wichita State University spokeswoman Lainie Mazzullo-Hart on Sept. 10, Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 4. An earlier version of this recording incorrectly stated the number of times Kansas Reflector asked for an interview.
