Same reason the conference allowed the professor to present the paper even though the first author committed suicide over it and left a suicide letter which blamed the misconduct and the professor —- nobody in academia gives a shit. Don’t mistake the penalty for integrity. These are the same guys that abuse vulnerable students to fuel their ego-trip (which they call careers).
PhDComics needs a special dystopian subsidiary just for these sort of departments. Like a Charlie Hebdo.
Because his papers get them tons of grant money.
