Sandra Borch, who resigned from government amid plagiarism claims, has had her master’s degree rescinded
The Arctic University of Norway has annulled former research minister Sandra Borch’s master’s degree. In January 2024, Borch resigned from her government post after admitting she had incorporated text into her master’s thesis taken “from other theses without citing the source”.
