The president of the University of South Carolina submitted his resignation Wednesday after admitting to plagiarizing part of a commencement speech and referring to the wrong school.
Robert Caslen’s resignation, which takes effect Thursday, followed an apology he issued Tuesday, acknowledging that he lifted from, but didn’t cite, a speech that Adm. William McRaven delivered in 2014 at the University of Texas.
During the May 7 speech, Caslen also mistakenly referred to the school as the “University of California.”
“During my remarks in our weekend commencement ceremonies, I shared a well-known quote from Admiral William McRaven and failed to cite him as its original author and speaker,” Caslen said in a statement Tuesday.
