This week it became clear that Felle’s appeal board did not uphold Kjerkol and her fellow student’s appeal after they were found guilty of cheating in the Student Board. news has now been given access to the appeal board’s conclusion. They write, among other things: – For the tribunal, it appears unlikely, and almost impossible, that the complainant’s master’s thesis can have so many similarities to the master’s thesis from 2019, without the complainant having used text from the 2019 master’s thesis in his own answer. Professor of general literature in Bergen, Gisle Selnes, believes the verdict is crushing. – The conclusion is devastating – and the reasoning is thorough and good. On Friday, Kjerkol told TV 2 that she is considering legal action against the state. – Accusations of dishonesty The reason why Kjekol was dismissed in the first tribunal was gross errors and textual similarity. The board for student affairs at Nord University concluded that Kjerkol had deliberately cheated. Over 77 examples of text similarities were found. This led to her having to resign as a minister. Ingvild Kjerkol had to resign from his post as minister as a result of the collusion of cheating at Nord University.

The tribunal itself writes that they have noticed that the complainant has been exposed to extensive media pressure, and that the case has had major consequences for her political work. Nevertheless, they do not find it possible to add weight to the additional burden to which the complainant has been exposed, when assessing the question of cancellation. The tribunal does not decide whether this could be relevant in assessing a sanction such as exclusion. Kjerkol is in the middle of the nomination process in Nord-Trøndelag. Read the full decision of the Joint Complaints Board here: Decision on Kjerkol’s complaint Professor: – The reasoning is thorough and good Gisle Selnes, professor of general literature at UiB, tells news that the verdict’s conclusion is crushing. – The reasoning is thorough and good. The decision is unanimous and cannot be changed, he says, adding that Kjerkhol has not won on a single point. – Neither with regard to the application of the law, case management or the assessment of whether there are objective and subjective conditions for cheating. Although she has had the former head of the Joint Complaints Board as her lawyer. The professor says it is clearly established that Kjerkol cheated intentionally. – She has stolen large amounts of text from others and published it to be her own. She later tried to explain away this text theft, and then fought tooth and nail to get the cancellation decision from NU overturned. He adds: – It is a relief that an end has been put to this misuse of public attention and resources. – Is it surprising that Kjerkhol was not successful in the complaint? – No, not at all. Absolutely everything indicated that Kjerkol had been guilty of gross plagiarism. Published 15.11.2024, at 18.13 Updated 15.11.2024, at 18.20
