Accusations of plagiarism against Kjerkol first surfaced at the end of January. Rather than quit immediately, Kjerkol chose to await the judgment by Nord University, which said it would take a second look at her 2021 thesis in health governance.
The pressure mounted Thursday when it was leaked to the Norwegian press that a panel reviewing Kjerkol’s thesis had revoked it for plagiarism.
Kjerkol is the second Norwegian minister to quit this year after facing accusations of plagiarism in their academic work.
In January, Sandra Borch of the Agrarian Party stepped down as minister of higher education after a student revealed on social media that she had copied large parts of her master’s thesis in law.
