Post-Dispatch Article
In case you missed it, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had an article on the Poshard situation. From the article:
In a related development, the Chronicle of Higher Education said in a story today that Poshard’s 1975 master’s thesis at SIU also appears to have some portions lifted from other sources without proper attribution. The issues with the master’s thesis are "considerably more minor" than those found in the dissertation, "but suggest a similar cut-and-paste methodology," the story says.

Dave Gross, an SIU spokesman, said the school has not yet seen the details of this accusation.
"But the single press account of it confirms again that Dr. Poshard’s underlying scholarship is not in question -- that these are technical and stylistic differences of opinion that date back decades," Gross said.
