Facing allegations of repeat plagiarism, Timothy Clinton, a former professor of counseling and pastoral care at Liberty University and a member of President Trump\u2019s evangelical executive advisory board, denied academic misconduct through a spokesperson. Clinton remains president of the American Association of Christian Counselors. Jimmy Queen, a spokesperson for Clinton at the association, said via email that Clinton \u201chas a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinton has written \u201ccountless articles and dozens of books, totaling hundreds of thousands of pages,\u201d Queen said, and \u201csome of those works have involved more of his direct involvement than others since he has often been assisted by graduate students or research associates.\u201d Queen offered explanations for various instances of alleged plagiarism, including \u201cposting errors via some third party partners,\u201d a \u201cformer employee whose work did not meet our quality standards\u201d and a \u201cco-authored work,\u201d the latter being a devotional book that is under an immediate editorial review. He said Clinton retired from Liberty last year.<\/p>\n
