O the irony: University of Texas at San Antonio has, ahem, plagiarized their honor code:
Akshay Thusu said he took over the project a month ago and inherited a draft from students who came before him. He said he discovered that a group of students attended a conference five years ago put on by Clemson’s Center for Academic Integrity.
Materials from the conference, which are used by many universities, were probably the main source of UTSA’s code, Thusu said. That’s why parts of the UTSA draft match word-for-word the online version of Brigham Young University’s code.
BYU credited the Center for Academic Integrity, but UTSA didn’t. That will change, said Thusu, who plans to submit a draft with proper citation to the faculty senate.
“We don’t want to have an honor code that is stolen,” said Thusu, a native of India.
Funny but sad.
