The London School of Economics accepted a £1.5m donation from a charity run by Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. [Agencies]
"The actual source of money gifted... was never established", the report says, and "Saif Gaddafi's word alone was relied upon." 调查报告还透露:“捐款的资金来源无法证实,学校仅获得了赛义夫•卡扎菲的一面之辞。” 
Lord Woolf also concludes that the timing of the donation, six weeks after Saif Gaddafi was awarded a PhD, was "unfortunate", "risky", "indicative of naivety at the LSE" and gave the impression that Saif had "purchased his degree". 沃尔夫还在报告中评论说,赛义夫•卡扎菲是在获博士学位6个星期后向学校捐款的,这一行动涉嫌“花钱购买学位”。对伦敦政治经济学院来说,这个时间很是“不巧”, 不仅带来了一定的“风险”,而且足以显示学院的“幼稚”。
Lord Woolf says academics and staff acted in, what they perceived to be the best interests of the School, but the donation would not have been accepted if its source had been properly checked. 沃尔夫表示,学院教职人员的这些做法在他们看来符合学校的最大利益,但是殊不知,资金来源倘若得到恰当的核实,这笔捐款也就不会被接受。
He singles out Sir Howard Davies for criticism, concluding that "despite his great experience and ability, responsibility for what went wrong must rest with the [former] director." 他还将霍华德•戴维斯挑出来进行了一番批判,“尽管他有着丰富的经验,能力也很强,但这些错误的举动还得由这位前院长来承担责任。”
The report also says that Saif al-Islam Gaddafi "duped" his academic supervisors by receiving extensive outside help in preparing his PhD thesis. 报告还显示,赛义夫•伊斯兰•卡扎菲“骗过”他的学术导师,在准备博士论文期间获得了外界的广泛帮助。
It says he was admitted to study at the LSE's philosophy department in 2003 because of an "idealism factor" that he might improve Libya - even though he had already been rejected by other LSE departments on the basis that his academic standards were not sufficiently high. 2003年,赛义夫进入伦敦政治经济学院哲学系学习。因为学术水平不够高,学院的其他院系都拒绝录用他,但是,考虑到他或许可以改善利比亚现状这个“理想化”因素,哲学系向他敞开了大门。

A separate University of London panel has been investigating allegations that Saif Gaddafi's PhD thesis might contain plagiarism or have been ghostwritten.

 

(Excerpts from BBC, Deceber 2, 2011)

伦敦大学另外成立了一个小组,目前正在对赛义夫博士论文是否涉嫌剽窃或雇人代写进行调查。
