ACADEMIC SCANDAL British Times Higher Education Asks What Is Happening in Thailand
Published by Andrew Drummond on April 20th, 2012 in General News Tags: asparagus, Bangkok Post, National Innovation Agency, Pichai Chuensuksawadi, Supachai Lorlowhakarn, Thailand, Wyn Ellis New Stink Over Vegetable Scoop Which Made US Reporter Flee Thailand From ANDREW DRUMMOND, April 19 2012

A newspaper story about how the director of Thailands National Innovation Agency allegedly plagiarised his PhD thesis and an academic paper about organic asparagus production from other academics, has been given new life in the BritishTimes Higher Educational this week. In a story of intrigue, machiavellian legal cases, and journalistic ethics, Britains most prestigious higher education magazine, formerly known as the Times Educational Supplement is asking why nothing has been done.

The magazine, says that concerns continue to be raised into why Chulalongkorn University has failed to take any action against Supachai Lorlowhakarn, Director of the NIA, who has been accused of plagiarising both his PhD thesis and an NIA sponsored academic paper about organic asparagus production. The whole story has a worse odour than the vegetable, the subject of the plagiarised academic studies, is said to give to human urine. Times Higher Education understands that an internal investigation by the university concluded in April 2010 that 80 per cent of Dr Lorlowhakarns thesis was plagiarised from several sources, including a United Nations technical assistance report and a field study in organic asparagus production commissioned by his agency. Dr Lorlowhakarn did not respond to requests by THE for comment. said the articles author Paul Jump. Chulalongkorns governing council is reported to have appointed another committee in January 2011 to consider whether Dr Lorlowhakarns PhD should be revoked, but the university has released no information on the subject and did not respond to THE enquiries. The original story was published in the Bangkok Post but later the newspaper pulled the story from the web after a deal struck with Dr. Lorlowhakarn..

Dr. Lorlowhakarn took out libel suits against Erika Fry (left), the American reporter who exposed the alleged plagiaristic acts in the Bangkok Post, and also the newspapers editor and the publisher. Dr. Wyn Ellis, an agricultural consultant, the man who complained about his and his colleagues work being copied, received ten law suits alone, nine of which have either been withdrawn or dismissed, such as one brought by the National Innovation Agency itself. Wyn Ellis put academic integrity above Thai cultural sensitivities and in fact claimed he had warned Dr. Lorlowhakarn about against taking his intended actions.

Dr. Ellis (right) claimed that since the controversy reared up he has had bricks thrown at his car smashing the rear windscreen, and received multiple visits from Immigration and tax authorities. Work of course is harder to come by, not because his reputation has been tarnished in any way but because he has become a hot potato.

Apirux Wanasathop, a former member of the National Innovation Agency board, said that Chulalongkorn must punish Dr Lorlowhakarn if it wanted to live up to its slogan of being the pillar of the kingdom, reported the Times Higher Educational Supplement. Its a shame to the country, the Ministry and the University. Erika Fry left Thailand while on bail. She survived and is currently working as a journalist on the political campaign trail in the U.S. But last year she reported in article headlined Escape from Thailand in the Columbia Journalism Review that she did not believe the assurance of the editors of the Bangkok Post and gave the impression that they were hanging out herself and Ellis, the foreign journalist and foreign professor, to dry as a matter of Thai expediency. Of the article itself she said: The evidence of all this, particularly the plagiarism, was beyond dispute, and the article had been vetted by lawyers and editors at the Post, the English-language newspaper for which I had worked since 2006. The Bangkok Posts Pichai Chuensuksawadi writing in reply, emphatically denied her allegations but then astonishingly admitted that the Bangkok Post had asked Erika Fry to give evidence against her informant (Ellis) in a case Supachai was taking against him.

This is what Khun Pichai wrote:

The plaintiff (Supachai) said the Bangkok Post editor Pattnapong Chantranontwong and Ms Fry were not his prime targets. The plaintiff offered to drop the case against the editor and Ms Fry (after Ms Fry testified in court that her interview with Mr Ellis was correct) and if the Bangkok Post took the story off its on-line archive. The editor consulted Khun Ronnachai (Bangkok Post lawyer) who advised that the request to withdraw the article from the online archive had nothing to do with the case against the Bangkok Post. The online withdrawal request was a face-saving move since the Bangkok Post had made it clear that it would not retract its story and fight the case in court. A reporter being called by the defendant to testify as a witness against a plaintiff in defamation cases is normal. The defendant merely wants the reporter to reaffirm that the interview given by the plaintiff (Mr Ellis) is correct. It is not a confession of guilt or error. It is a reaffirmation that the interview was accurate and correct. Many newspapers and reporters are sued as plaintiffs so that defendants can use their testimony against other plaintiffs in the case. In fact betraying a source in any form is completely unethical and unacceptable in journalism outside Thailand, unless the source has deliberately lied, even if Pichai says it is normal within the country. Moreover the Bangkok Post publishes under the slogan The Newspaper You Can Trust and Wyn Ellis, who assisted the newspaper in its enquiry, should have been able to rely on its support. Had Mr. Supachai wanted Erika Fry to give evidence stating the interview did take place, all he needed to do was take her evidence-in-chief in any case brought against her, or indeed brandish a copy of the Bangkok Post article and confirm it in court with Mr. Ellis. Pichai has stated: Your reporters are most important. Theyre the lifeblood of any newspaper no matter how high you go. The matter is controversial because Chulalongkorn University is one of Thailands top two universities. Many people look to its professors as a guide to the future of Thailand politically, economically, and academically. Its Thailands Oxford. Academics from all over the world, many of whom have associations with Chulalongkorn, will have read the article in the Times Higher Education. The whole matter seems to have come down to a matter of saving face. Plagiarism is not hard to prove, especially when its alleged that 161 pages of 175 pages of a report are a direct copy from elsewhere, and the courts have at last been coming down on Ellis side even though questions remain as to why they accepted some of the complaints in the first place. Thus under scrutiny are Thailands top university, the justice system, officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and of course the National Innovation Agency itself. But worse may come. There are other allegations out there which could escalate the story radically if published. The powers that be at Chulalongkorn may be aware of this and as it involves other officials it may explain their silence.

NB: Declaration of interest. In cases ten years ago originally defended by myself and the Bangkok Post the newspaper subsequently left the me to defend myself in two libel actions brought by the owner of a Pattaya Commercial gay sex business and came to an arrangement with the plaintiff, who said the Bangkok Post or its editors were not the prime targets. The Post also printed grovelling apologies before I won both cases on appeal. I have subsequently posted comments under Erikas article on the Columbia Journalism Review site.

Comments

1. Wyn Ellis Posted on May 5th, 2012 at 15:58:12 Well, surprise, surprise- it seems Prof Irb is coy about responding to my call to make the disputed paper available to readers, or apparently to engage in a reasoned public discussion of the facts. Im still waiting for your reply, Prof Irb, but am not optimistic as I have frequently been put in this position. Transparency is essential to uphold the reputation of the peer review system and the quality of academic publications. To shy away from open scrutiny of its publications does no credit to any journal, and indeed raises deeper questions concerning overall governance. Why, for example, was review of this paper rushed through in a record 3 weeks, compared with an average 28 weeks for the 24 preceding papers? I have asked this question many times, but TJAS has never sought to clarify the reason for its haste. Does the TJAS Editorial Board have any say? Prof Richard Bell, or Prof Bob Gilkes, both of whom have previously called for a retraction? If any academics reading this might be willing to review the paper independently, I would be grateful if you would contact me via Facebook. Lets get things out in the open. In the meantime, see the related debate at New Mandala (Google university-rankings-from-chulasperspective.

2. admin Posted on May 4th, 2012 at 22:35:57 Wyn Ellis Posted on May 01 2012 at 18:08:44 Irb Kheoruenromne: Peter Fernquest said it better than I possibly could. Ill leave it to others to judge whether the tone and content of your posting are worthy of an esteemed academic and Editor-in-Chief of an international scientific journal. I will simply remind you that my motives are no concern of yours; after all, exposing academic fraud is your duty and mine, and to do so should require no further motivation or defence. Your posting also contains some factual errors: allow me to set the record straight. First, I am plain Mr, not Dr. Second, my PhD thesis topic has nothing to do with asparagus, organic or otherwise. Otherwise, my thesis topic is a private matter in which you have no legitimate business to intrude. Again, I ask you to please confine yourself to the facts you know, and respect my personal boundaries. I fully support Peter Fernquests suggestion to remain focused on the single key issue in this dispute whether or not the TJAS paper was plagiarized. Should the balance of available evidence support the allegation, I submit TJAS has both an ethical and legal duty as publisher to retract the paper NOW without further wrangling. Retraction is no disgrace: indeed, to the contrary, it demonstrates the journals commitment to stamp out the growing crisis of academic fraud, adding to its credibility. So what of this supporting evidence? Well, there is quite a bit. What about the three court

http://andrew-drummond.com/2012/04/20/academic-scandal-british-times-higher-education-asks-...
verdicts and the report of the Chulalongkorn University investigation, which all ruled on the provenance of the reports on which the disputed TJAS paper was based? Or the March 2010 report of the Ministry of Science and Technology investigation? Last year, Wageningen Academic Publishers and members of TJAS own Editorial Board also demanded that TJAS retract the paper. And, youve seen the source documents, with text copied word-for-word from the original sources highlighted and cross-referenced. I simply ask: what more could an unbiased observer possibly need to prove the allegation beyond reasonable doubt? To continue to sit on your hands in the face of this prima facie evidence makes your postion increasingly untenable. To move things forward, I have two proposals which I hope you will find constructive. First (and this has also been advocated by members of TJAS Editorial Board) why not demonstrate your impartiality by asking an independent panel of respected overseas academics to arbitrate? This would protect you from local politics, deliver an authoritative ruling respected by all sides, and allow a dignified closure to this protracted dispute. Second, since some readers may be curious to read the paper, in the interests of transparency would you be willing to post a link to the TJAS paper on this blog (I note you took the rather drastic step of taking the entire journal offline some time ago)? With the consent of the original intended publisher Ill be happy to post a link to the unpublished proof copy of the original article. Readers can then judge for themselves the similarities, and also the academic standard of the TJAS paper, which I also challenge. I hope you will respond constructively to these two challenges; lets at least try to resolve our differences like grown-ups. Arthur Dent Posted on May 01 2012 at 12:01:01 Irb Kheoruenromne: Editors of international journals are expected to act with professional decorum and demonstrate scrupulous fairness to parties in dispute. I find it extraordinary and abhorrent that any academic and editor of an international journal should resort to slurs, innuendo and unwarranted personal attack. A classic case of discrediting the whistleblower, if ever I saw one Since I dont know the facts, Ill resist the temptation to speculate on your own motives (ulterior or not) for such a crude and intemperate venting of spleen. Moreover, your rationale for not acting on the available evidence seem strangely disconnected from best practice in international academic publishing. Normally, a university investigation finding 80% plagiarism would give ample justification for immediate suspension of an offending article, no questions. In this light, your attack on Wyn Ellis does you no credit, to say the least, and simply raises the question of whether you are protecting a plagiarist by refusing to apply immediate sanction? Shame on you, Irb, and shame on TJAS. Irb Kheoruenromne Posted on April 30 2012 at 14:36:48 I do not believe that people commented in this such a case understand what actually happened. I am the Chief Editor of the Journal where an article was published in. I had talked to Wyn personally on this matter and I had responded to some of the people who asked the questions. The paper was published before any of this started and we had the agreement to publish from the authors that the work belonged to them. So, If Wyn would like to do something about it he should file a request to get court verdict that the work they published did not belong to them. I even asked Wyn to take the matter to court so that I can be called upon to give the truth on it. I have nothing to do with the decision by Chulalongkorn people but I believe Wyn did not go in a right path to get his case resolved. Actually he had done so many things to harm people unnecessarily. I had given him a promise that if he wins in the court I will revoke the right of the authors and take the paper out of the Journal. As a piece of information though that Wyn and the first author of the paper worked in the same group and the report was just a report of the group. Before any body agrees to say something about this please kindly make a crucial investigation on Wyn ulterior motives on the matter. Just a question , where did Wyn get his Doctor Degree from and on what thesis topic? Can any body post up this information? Andrew Drummond Posted on April 28 2012 at 17:04:46 Indeed Wyn truth is not a defence alone against libel in Thailand. It must be coupled with an in the public interest defence. Hence I have to ensure all my controversial stuff has an in the public interest service to it. The other aspect if of course, people who know they have a sure fire copper bottomed case often lose in Thailand, suggesting other forces at play. In my cases one would have thought it was impossible for the Bangkok Post to be acquitted while I was convicted in the lower court, as it was their decision to publish! Had the same happened to Erika she would have had to hang around for up to five years while she appealed. Acharn Posted on April 28 2012 at 17:03:21

MR Kalaya Tingsabadh, Chulalongkorn Universitys Vice President, quoted in Chularat Saengpassa Worldclass standards and boosting, The Nation, 21 February 2011. We categorise Chula as worldclass in the national university division, not world-class in an international university division So, we wont spend a huge amount of money to import excellent foreign lecturers and recruit too many international students to reach a higher rank because doing so doesnt benefit the nation We are in the same category as the University of Tokyo, Peking University and Seoul National University, which mainly serve local students. We look up to their benchmarks and we will see how we can improve CU With this kind of mindset, Chula is set for another drop in its global rankings. I feel so ashamed. Wyn Ellis Posted on April 28 2012 at 16:53:55 Robert, I respectfully disagree with your interpretation. As a journalist, Erika was entitled to the defence that she presented a fair balance of opinion from both sides, in keeping with her profession. In her case the Ministry of Science & Technology refused to comment on the allegations. I myself was acquitted of all charges under Art 329 of the Criminal Code which entitles individuals to defend their legitimate rights. A PhD thesis in the public domain is held to be subject to legitimate public comment. The prosecution appealed, of course. However, as Andrew notes, there are many grey areas, and you can never guess how much truth and public interest will be taken into account. Andrew Drummond Posted on April 27 2012 at 03:36:56 Robert B: You are right. In Thailand truth is no defence. But truth and in the public interest is. Of course what judges might deem is in the public interest appears to be negotiatble. Robert B. Albritton Posted on April 27 2012 at 03:33:04 In ordeer to put this in perspective, one needs to be familiar with Thai libel law. In the U.S., for example, the affirmative defense against a charge of libel is that what was printed was true. In Thai law, what Erika Fry wrote was technically libel, even if true. She would not have had a chance in a Thai court. Vegetable Matter Posted on April 25 2012 at 17:42:06 Newbie, thank you for your latest post. Like Ms Fry I think I will quit while I am still ahead. Or far more accurately as regards my comments not losing too badly. Perhaps I would be agreeing with all who were pro Ms Frys decision, if I stated, that in their life, a person should always take the course of action, that they personally feel most comfortable with at the time, assuming they are at liberty to do so. Though it can lead to regrets perhaps for many it is best to live to fight another day. The saying finish what you started, could be foolish advice for some. Maybe, with some accusing her of cooking up the Asparagus story, and matters coming to boiling point, Ms Fry heeded the saying, if you cant stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. As the locals often say in Thailand up to you, her life, her liberty. Newbie, I agree with you as regards the danger of living by the Burke quotes. Already during my time in Thailand, they have caused me to suffer short term loss of freedom. And I would imagine, I will be highly unlikely to quietly slip away in my sleep. However I still believe , foolish though it may be, It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees. Somchai Posted on April 25 2012 at 08:41:20 To bring the discussion back to the original focus, when Thailands leading university postures as an international university, it must be ready to be measured and judged by international, not local norms. In failing to act on its own ruling of 80% plagiarism,the university has disregarded its own Charter as well as basic ethical and academic standards. The University hasnt even bothered to respond to the global publicity that surrounds this case. If Andrew were to dig a little deeper, I wonder if he might discover some kind of face-saving deal? newbie Posted on April 24 2012 at 15:21:07 Both of Burkes old quotes may be relevant in the West but represent dangerous advice in Thailand. You live by them if you will but she was right to leave. AD has the experience to handle problems that she would flounder on or worse Vegetable Matter Posted on April 24 2012 at 12:34:15

Westerby, valid points. But continuing the theme of my previous posts here, in my opinion, with respect Ms Fry does seem to be rather an innocent aboard, writing a story concerning important locals in Thailand, and then not expecting any comeback. Surely if one aspires to be a professional journalist, one should adhere to the principle of publish and be dammed or in this case sued. I find it rather insulting to the heroic reporters who worldwide risk life and limbon a daily basis to file their reports, that Ms Fry didnt stand by her story. Would she of been murdered for her reportage in this instance, I somehow doubt it. Anyway perhaps her seeing this matter through to the end, would of made one hell of a story. If she puts her college course, before facing up to any fallout caused by her good works, perhaps this is not the right career for her. Andrew, you state you have been at this a long time, but surely one has to start somewhere, and maybe this was the starting line for Miss Fry. In my opinion, it would of been rather an exciting first race, with her getting off the blocks in a big way. Westerby, perhaps relevant here, is a quote from Irish philosopher Edmund Burke who stated, Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe. But when it comes down to a matter of risk and principles, unwise though it be in many parts of the world, I live my life according to a quote Mr Burke is alleged to of made, All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. westerby Posted on April 23 2012 at 13:13:58 Vegetable matter:I think one could safely assume Ms Fry will somehow recover from the trauma of her wise decision to eschew Thailand sine die. Truth is very much a negotiable instrument here and to report upon it without qualification is not within the rules. Taking a stand is fine in principle but when the outcome is so uncertain most with any sense realise the game is not worth the candle.Why would anyone risk their personal safety, health and financial wellbeing for a principle in this country? newbie Posted on April 22 2012 at 21:13:52 sad indeed, vegetable matter, but she has to make a safe choice which i think is what she has done. ad is in a different position and it is easier for him to fight on -for which we all admire him. i should perhaps have referred to andrew as a professional journalist rather than a tabloid hackor whatever i called him. But it actually was a complement. The NOTW and other tabloids had done alot of good investigative journalism.the comparison with wales is a valid one and that actually saddens me that UOW got into this mess. Money and Greed in two short words. The individual Welsh colleges have not however lost so much credibility david Posted on April 22 2012 at 14:51:14 newbie, whilst not a top uk university it would seem appropriate to compare chula with the university of wales, which seems to share many of the same QA issues and I believe has been discussed on this blog. It is interesting to see that chlua has such little regard to its own reputation that its prepared give priority to the face and reputation of what is a relatively minor government official. Vegetable Matter Posted on April 22 2012 at 14:48:26 Andrew and Newbie, thank you both for the valid comments. I am no legal or immigration expert, but perhaps one sad result of Erika skipping bail, will be that she is unable to return to Thailand at a future date, without being arrested on arrival. Though maybe there is a time limit on how long cases remain on the books, or more correctly these days, on the computers. It would surely be very unfortunate indeed, if because of being forced to flee, Erika could never again, enjoy Amazing Thailand. Andrew Drummond Posted on April 21 2012 at 18:24:59 Newbie: Ahhhhhhhhhh. Tabloid reporter! Theyll be calling me yellow press next!. No seriously Ill take that as a compliment if you mean I stand up for people, which is what the British tabloids were best at before they blooted their copy books. My career has equally spanned tabloids and the heavies and TV too but lets run with it. newbie Posted on April 21 2012 at 17:31:36 Erika should of sic perhaps stood her ground, though it might of sic been muddy in the asparagus patch Sorry, vegetable matter, I agree with Andrew. There are times to stay and fight and times to turn the other cheek and not wait around for further problems. All circumstances are different. She was right to leave; and at the same time AD is right to stay in the ring. He is a professional and experienced tabloid

reporter who knows the ropes Andrew Drummond Posted on April 21 2012 at 13:32:25 Erika made the right decision. Why would she stick around for all this nonsense having accepted by the Columbia School of Journalism. Besides I have been at this a long time. I am more thick skinned. She had no idea what was happening to her. Vegetable Matter Posted on April 21 2012 at 13:29:13 Andrew, while your report of this event is worthwhile. I would be interested to learn some more details regarding reporter Erika Fry, with respect she does seem to be making rather a drama out of a crisis. Forced to flee Thailand, why did she not have the courage to stay and fight her case. Good grief, Andrew if you took flight every time you faced a libel action, you would surely spend a large part of your existence airborne. In these dangerous times, when many reporters world wide, and I believe yourself in the past, are putting their lives on the line, to file their stories, Erika should of perhaps stood her ground, though it might of been muddy in the asparagus patch. If she packs her bags over an incident like this, I dont imagine she will be filing any front line reports from a war zone any time soon. I guess it could of been serious, captured by the University she could of been given the Third Degree. Though I would imagine she has enough qualifications already. June Barley Posted on April 21 2012 at 12:34:13 Let us be fair to the man. He did a lot of research, enough to find 161 out of 175 that he could plagiarise. Must have taken him a few hours, that lot newbie Posted on April 21 2012 at 12:02:46 I agree Somchai but Chula thinking with its Thai hat on would not consider it owes anyone an apology. You are talking of a western concept (with which I would agree)while Chula is of course a Thai institution. Neither the NIA nor Chula want to or will lose face over this. The problem will effectively go away because no Thai will address it. His PhD is safe Tomfoolery Posted on April 21 2012 at 12:02:15 There is a very simple explanation to all this. For evident reasons, all Thai universities, including Chula, are of such low attainment that any degree is not even recognised outside Thailand so a student will have to start all over again. Simple, end of. Somchai Posted on April 21 2012 at 09:55:36 It seems to me that Chulalongkorn University owes a public explanation of its failure to apply its zero tolerance policy on plagiarism in this case, having found its former student guilty of what looks like massive plagiarism over two years ago. As for NIA, I thought this agency was supposed to promote Thailands international image and showcase Thai innovation to the world. But who in their right minds would partner with NIA whilst its director faces such allegations? NIA has become a national, and perhaps even a global laughing stock. Individual academic fraud is of course bad enough, but when institutions such as Chulalongkorn University and NIA seem ready to sacrifice their own reputations to protect the perpetrator, then Thailand has bigger problems on its hands. newbie Posted on April 21 2012 at 03:08:06 Carl, Chula is not in the UK!. I suppose there is some logic in saying that with a university degree a graduate is in fact more likely to get a job than a non-graduate. Not always a high powered or relevant job but a job nonetheless and a step on the ladder. Consider how may Thai graduates are hotel receptioists and tour guides. Not sure you can tar all uk universities with the same brush. The problem here is that Chula is supposed to be a top university but never compare it to a top UK institution Carl Marks Posted on April 20 2012 at 17:36:26 Er could money actually be the root of all evil? Roll up, roll up get your degrees here, up to 30 grand a pop from any UK university thats right, British degrees now on special offer at up to 30 grand, roll up, roll up.

universities REALLY care about the integrity of their qualifications and standards? And there was I thinking they had no qualms about their grubby dash to become shameless money-making machines, further subsidised by cash-rich foreign students. Is the THE now based in an Ivory Tower? Well, this is all news to me AD! P.S. University education? Whatever for? There are NO jobs! See UK, Spain, Greece etc for details. newbie Posted on April 20 2012 at 16:37:27 Im not sure hardly anybody does any original work is true but plagiarism is rife. .. For the supplement to ask why nothing was done shows that their reporters know little of Thailand JVACHE Posted on April 20 2012 at 13:58:07 Everybody knows this occurs that this occurs with regularity at every level of the educational system if Chulalongkorn admits it in this case, you open the floodgates. Or what about all those who have paid somebody to write their thesis? From my admittedly limited experience, it seems that hardly anybody does any original work.
