“Opposition #Leader #PeterDutton says former #HomeAffairs Department secretary #MikePezzullo 🤡, who was sensationally sacked from the public service in 2023 for #misconduct and later stripped of his Order of Australia honour, “should have a role to play in the future of this country” if the #Coalition wins the election.”

They say this is Leadership.

'Social media influencers are fuelling an increase in misogyny and sexism in schools, according to a new poll by a teaching union.

Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, the NASUWT poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK found.'

Zach Radcliffe, a #churchleader, has been accused of serious #misconduct, raising concerns about accountability within #religious institutions. Instead of addressing the situation transparently, his #church’s response has sparked controversy. In this video, we examine what happened and why it matters.

There's a correlation between sexual #misconduct accusations and a drop in citations for the scholars accused, while that's not the case for fraudsters. In both cases there is a drop in publications, and the puzzling thing is that - looking at the raw data in the original paper doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0 - the trend seems to begin before the accusations emerge. It raises the question of in which direction does the causality go.

SpringerLinkScientometric indicators in research evaluation and research misconduct: analysis of the Russian university excellence initiative - ScientometricsThis study aimed to examine the impact of the Russian University Excellence Initiative (RUEI), also known as Project 5–100, on research misconduct in Russian higher education. Launched in 2013, the RUEI incentivized universities to increase the number of publications in internationally indexed journals. The analysis compares the prevalence of retracted publications—as a proxy for research misconduct—between universities that participated in the RUEI and a control group of universities that did not. A total of 2621 retracted papers affiliated with at least one Russian institution were identified. Of which 203 papers were indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and/or Scopus databases. The results showed that RUEI universities had a significantly higher number of retracted publications in WoS- and Scopus-indexed journals, suggesting that pressure to meet quantitative scientometric indicators may have encouraged unethical research practices and research misconduct. In addition, different reasons for retraction were found between publications indexed and not indexed in WoS and/or Scopus databases. These findings suggest that the direct and irresponsible use of scientometric indicators as performance measures may have unintended negative consequences that may undermine research integrity.

Trump Deletes Database Of Federal Police Officer Misconduct

NCJA · Trump Deletes Database Of Federal Police Officer MisconductThe first national database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Trump, deleting a resource that experts said improved public safety by helping to prevent bad officers from jumping to new agencies and starting over with clean records. The database was proposed by Trump in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd. It wasn’t created until two years later when an executive order from President Biden launched the National Law Enforcement Accountability

“We have lost countless records of disciplinary actions, terminations, complaints & settlements related to #police #misconduct,” Davis said. “Officers with serious misconduct histories often move between departments. Despite its limitations, it addressed a real problem — rehiring officers who had been fired or resigned for misconduct … its removal sends a clear message about the new administration’s priorities.”
