Wrong trigger. Meyer was not found to have committed academic fraud in the course of pursuing his PhD. He was found to have committed scientific fraud at work.

This leads to the wrong conclusion. We’re not trying to establish whether the university should admit Meyer into the PhD program. He’s already finished the PhD program. We’re trying to establish whether his PhD should be revoked.

Wrong trigger and wrong conclusion. Meyer has already graduated from the university. We’re trying to determine whether his PhD should be revoked, not whether he should be expelled. Also, he was not found to have submitted falsified data as academic work.

Meyer holds a PhD from the University of Williamstown and he was found to have committed scientific fraud. If anyone who has a PhD from this university and has committed scientific fraud will have their PhD revoked, this justifies the decision to revoke Meyer’s PhD.

This leads to the wrong conclusion. We’re trying to determine whether Meyer’s PhD should be revoked, not whether he should be hired at the university.
