– I decided that long before these matters appeared, as soon as I wrote the master’s. Trond Giske says that the master’s thesis he submitted in spring 2023 is not available to the public. The politician has no intention of publishing the master’s thesis either, even after Sandra Borch resigned as minister last week due to plagiarism in her master’s. In Ingvild Kjerkol’s master’s thesis, more than 60 cases of text similarities with other assignments have been found. Giske thinks part of the challenge is that today’s politicians are too ungenerous with ordinary people. I think the politicians need to be more generous Commuter housing, stock trading, disqualification, inappropriate conditions and now referral In recent years, several ministers have had to leave because they did not follow the rules. – The lack of generosity we show to someone who has been unlucky with their form at Nav makes me cringe when it comes to ourselves, says Giske. Giske believes that politicians must be more generous than having to resign because of mistakes or lack of citation. – We have good advice if we only have to get rid of people every single time a few footnotes are missing. But I don’t know the issues and I don’t want to go into it. He says people don’t like it when politicians meet themselves at the door and fail to follow their own regulations. – It’s no wonder that people expect politicians to be able to fill in a self-report or a travel invoice correctly. – Nobody wants flawless politicians Political commentator at news, Tone Sofie Aglen, says that we must be able to expect politicians to follow the same rules they make for ordinary people. – In particular, I think politicians are vulnerable to issues where there is no match between life and teaching. Some scandalous cases where politicians have to resign are obvious, while in other cases it is more subtle. But politicians, like most people, must be able to make mistakes without having to resign. Aglen explains that it depends on the seriousness of the error, how it is handled and how much trust the politician has in the first place. – There are probably very few people who think that footnotes in old master’s theses should be scrutinized, says Tone Sofie Aglen. – I don’t think anyone wants flawless politicians, and there is a concern that the need to become a politician is in the tightest team. Nevertheless, the politicians must follow their own rules, Aglen points out. And the government did not do that when they appealed a case of self-plagiarism to the Supreme Court, led by then Minister of Research and Higher Education Sandra Borch. – A research and higher education minister cannot have cheated on his master’s thesis at the same time as the cheating regulations for students are being tightened, adds Aglen. Does not want to share his master’s thesis Giske says that he himself has run his thesis through Copyleaks and that the thesis passed the test. This means that he has not plagiarized other people’s assignments or texts. He still does not want to share his master’s thesis because he believes the findings in the thesis can give the opposition an advantage. – I did a large survey. There are some results and themes in it that I have mentioned in my book that came out in the autumn. – The most important political findings I have, they are in the book. Giske describes a crisis of confidence between the traditional voters and the Labor Party. news has applied for access to Trond Giske’s master’s thesis, but does not get this from NTNU. Each student decides whether or not the assignment is to be made public or not upon submission. The university encourages students to publish their master’s and bachelor’s theses in NTNU’s public archive, NTNU Open. Giske has chosen not to do this.
