According to the Flint Report, the U.S. Army War College has removed the Montana Democratic senator’s name from a plaque at the school after he admitted to plagiarizing portions of his master’s thesis.

Walsh was appointed to the Senate and was running for election prior to the scandal breaking.

He has since dropped out of the race.

The plaque honors “prestigious graduates” of the institution.

Scraping Walsh’s name off the plaque comes on the heels of the college revoking his degree.

The Associated Press reported Walsh “disagrees with the findings but accepts the decision.”

The plagiarism allegations surfaced in a July New York Times report that analyzed the paper he wrote in 2007.

Two weeks later, Walsh dropped out of the race and he was later replaced on the Democrat ticket by Butte teacher Amanda Curtis.

An August Rasmussen poll had Curtis’s support at 35 percent and her Republican opponent over 50 percent.

“I was disappointed in the War College’s decision, you know I said right up front that I made a mistake,” Walsh said, according to KXLF.

“You know they took away my degree from the War College based on lack of integrity. I made an honest mistake seven years ago when I was doing the paper and I believe it was an honest mistake and so they question my integrity and so that’s why I disagree with the decision of the academic review board.”

In a separate statement, Walsh said, “I apologize to all Montanans for the plagiarism in my 2007 paper, and I am prepared to live with its consequences.  I may not be a scholar but I am proud to have been a soldier who has served Montana and this great nation for 33 years in uniform.”
