Following the discovery by the West Virginia University (WVU) that ex NUS Associate Professor Dr Anoop Shankar had lied about his credentials and his PhD being fake, NUS has started a review of all the academic publications that he published during the tenure with the university.

(See: NBC News: NUS hired an Associate Professor with a fake PhD)

An NUS spokesperson had said that “In view of the media reports on Anoop Shankar, NUS has initiated an internal investigation into his research publications when he was at NUS.”

Shankar, an Indian National had been working in the NUS department of Community, Occupational and Family Medicine as an associate professor for 4 years. In 2008, he moved to the US and joined WVU. He was later exposed when a professor at WVU was asked to review his resume prior to a proposed promotion.

The professor who made the discovery of Shankar’s fake credentials noted that he had plagiarized some of his academic articles, faked results, and had not in fact graduated from the institutions he claimed to have graduated from.

When NBC news first covered the story, they also got interviews with some of Shankar’s ex colleagues at NUS. Those who they interviewed explained that they had no reason to doubt his credentials and they did not detect any irregularities in the papers that they had personally co-authored with Shankar.

It is not known how many of Shankar’s publications contain fake results and plagiarism and NUS is now trying to find them all out so that any inconsistent papers can be retracted.

It is concerning that in the whole time Shankar was in NUS, he was never discovered until he went to the US. How stringent is NUS’ policy on the hiring of “Foreign Talent”?

It was no less stringent than UWV's policies as he worked there from 2008 to 2014 without being discovered either.

To try to cast NUS as being negligent while ignoring the fact that he succeeded in hoodwinking the US authorities too shows that the author is doing nothing more than trying to politicize the issue to put the PAP government in bad light. It's a pathetic effort to discredit the government and is nothing more than a cheap shot.

WVU is hardly a top university. its not even ranked top 100 in the US.

WVU is not the gold standard that we want to benchmark NUS to.

Some GLCs have hired people with fake credentials. Obviously NUS is no better.

I think Spore is doomed because when we start having unqualified & incompetent people we are just like all the other 3rd world countries out there.

it's not the pap's fault as they don't get involved in the due diligence process and background checks on foreign talent recruitment. the onus lies with nus, and mistakes and miscues happen once in a while, even at u.s. universities. it requires a sharp and observant hiring professor with a penchant for academic details to uncover credential fraud. in this case, plagiarized papers tipped the professor off, and subsequent red flags were raised on data presented followed by checks on claimed credentials.

As far as these moronic opposition retards are concerned, the PAP is to blame for anything bad that befalls the universe including supernovas, black holes and gamma radiation.

No he isn't. All he said is that it is not the only path to success. There are many alternatives.

let us all also blame the pap for a fake phd, so called dr. elizabeth o'bagy, who managed to impress not only senator john mccain to quote her during senate hearings but also the secretary of state john kerry to mostly agree with her about foreign policy on syria. the problem is she's a credential fraud.

You got a point there he did after all manage to retain his position from at Uwv since 2008 but how about this he was discovered to be a fraud at that Uni and not NUS in fact Uwv probably trusted him since he was from nus previously. Also Uwv is probably a lowly ranked Uni if it was say Harvard then it would be a bigger blunder for the us
