Emails show former Sheriff David Clarke's tense and protracted process to retain master's degree
Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has retained his master's degree in security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School after a lengthy revision process to correct multiple instances of plagiarism in his thesis.
The revision process was initiated last year after CNN's KFile reported that sections of the controversial sheriff's 2013 paper, titled "Making U.S. security and privacy rights compatible," were lifted word for word from sources ranging from the ACLU to former President George W. Bush. In all the instances KFile found, Clarke credited sources with a footnote but did not indicate with quotation marks that he was using the language verbatim.
At the time of the initial report, Clarke had announced that he would be joining President Donald Trump's administration as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security. Clarkedid not end up joining the administration. After resigning his position as sheriff in August, Clarke joined the pro-Trump group America First Policies, where he still serves as an advisor.
