Varsities have a duty to stop plagiarism

Editor, Reference is made to the letter, “Govt, not universities will put plagiarism into check” (The New Times, June 9). I totally disagree with Abdou. It is not the job of the Ministry of Education to run the day-to-day affairs of universities. University authorities should find solutions to most issues and only seek help from the ministry on issues beyond their control, and these should be very difficult ones.
