"...第四届中国高校人文社会科学研究优秀成果奖申报评审工作..."

邓申报的是成果, 不是人.奖的是成果, 不是人. All authors are honored due to their contribution to the 成果 ,and financial award should be split according to their contributions.

Thus, 邓 has no fault (or at least no evidence to proof so), assuming the Ed dept document and the image of the award are true.

邓 should get an apology, unless more evidence exist.
