[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach college, and we have more cheating than ever going on now.  But there are two other things that are different. I see a lot more 'grey area' stuff that's on the edge of cheating but not quite there (students recycling their own work, for example, which technically is disallowed if it's a whole assignment - but what if it's only part of it?).  I also see a lot less remorse.  They may be angry that they're having to serve the consequences, but they don't necessarily see themselves as having done much of anything wrong. [/quote]

Whenever the recent Harvard president’s plagiarism issues come up on DCUM, I’m amazed by how many people leap to her defense, saying things like “president is not an academic position” & “she only plagiarized in areas that were not key parts of her research.”[/quote]

Yes, but have you actually read the dissertations of some people that probably didn't plagiarize? Many are absolute garbage and they supposedly had to defend their dissertations before graduating. Not defending plagiarizers but don't assume having a Ph.D. degree is affirming in any way.
