— UIC to pay nearly $700,000 to former CSU provost Angela Henderson wrongly accused of plagiarism – Maudlyne Ihejirika (DIERSEN: In 1974, to get rid of me, my Democrat IRS superiors constructively charged me with submitting fraudulent travel vouchers. I filed a grievance, my Democrat IRS superiors dragged out the grievance process, but I won in 1977. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/463866. In retrospect, with benefit of hindsight, I should have sued my Democrat IRS superiors.)
