GEN: Plagiarism and the consequences

[Josephine Dervan <rderva@INFIONLINE.NET>]

Hello All,



A few months ago there was a call for concrete examples of how plagiarizing
could have dire consequences. This weekend there was a story in the regional
edition of the NY Times (couldn't find the URL) about a local recent high school
graduate (Moorestown HS) who had problems with plagiarism and had her acceptance
to Harvard rescinded as a result.



Here is an article from the Harvard Crimson describing the
controversy:
