Plagiarism complaint against White Fragility author Robin DiAngelo dismissed

Author claims that 'progressive Black scholars in particular have been targeted' after University of Washington rejects complaint over her 2004 doctoral thesis

A plagiarism complaint filed last month against Robin DiAngelo, the author of a number of books on racism including White Fragility, has now been dismissed.

The complaint - which cited 20 instances of alleged research misconduct in DiAngelo's 2004 doctoral thesis - was lodged with the University of Washington, where the author completed her PhD and is now an affiliate associate professor of education.
