Okay, this is both funny and desperately sad. Also, I really, really think the UT-SAT students really need to take a look at the fine print:
U. of Texas honor code apparently plagiarized from BYU’s code – Salt Lake Tribune
SAN ANTONIO – University of Texas at San Antonio students wanted to draft an honor code that discouraged cheating and plagiarizing.
Unfortunately, it appears they copied Brigham Young University’s code without proper attribution.
The student in charge of drafting the code said it was an oversight, but cheating experts say it illustrates a sloppiness among Internet-era students who don’t know how to cite sources properly and think of their computers as cut-and-paste machines.
