This prime minister's cabinet has been marred by scandals.
Sandra Borch was just added to an ever longer list of ministers who have had to resign.
She was the Minister of Research and Higher Education until she resigned today, after news site e24.no discovered that her old master's thesis contained plagiarisms. She had used excerpts of other master's theses without citing them.
Especially embarrassing for a minister who has focused heavily on combating plagiarism.
She held a short press conference this evening at 8 where she resigned, apologised and left without answering any questions.
