Statement on scholastic dishonesty: The Faculty Senate version for the first day
handout:``As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one's own
the ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this
definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another
person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of
that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist
destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely
communicated.''
