Ken Davis will lose his national college basketball beat when he returns from a one-month suspension for plagiarism. He says personal and family issues that were weighing on him clouded his judgment on the day he lifted material from the Syracuse Post-Standard. He tells Courant ombud
Karen Hunter. "I made a mistake. I apologized to a member of the Syracuse Post-Standard staff and asked him to convey my regrets. I've apologized to the editors here. I've apologized to several of my coworkers. I apologize to the readers and assure them this will never happen again."
