Plagiarism, Part II.... When I was a professor, the most blatant case of plagiarism I came across was a term paper that was beautifully written (too good), but which stirred a vague deja vu in my head. After considerable research, I found that the paper was an exact copy of an article from a journal of some years before. I brought the student up on charges. This lad was a foreign student from India. At the hearing, he presented the defense that in India, this practice was perfectly acceptable. Guess what. The board of sympathetic humanities professors absolved him of any guilt, with the gentle admonition, well, just don't do that again while you are here. So ... in our new multiculturalist, diversified society ... what's the point. JC
