        @mathieuvonrohr Nice twist re her reason for quitting, too: Suing a university as education minister is a conflict of interest.

        @BBCBreaking what's up with the quotation marks? The uni that gave her the title confirmed her plagiarism.

        @BBCBreaking Are you using quotation marks around "plagiarism" so we know you did not plagiarise?

        @BBCBreaking I think you can leave the scare quotes off that one. Her alma mater confirmed it, didn’t they?
