Breaking news - SIUC's administrators make headlines in Journal of Higher Ed.

I don't have a subscription, but if you do click here. The headline is "Plagiarism Hunters at Southern Illinois U. Say Campus's Strategic Plan Was Lifted." I am not as smart as the administrators at SIUC, but it seems that the article implies that the entire process of doing Southern at 150 was a sham. All the committee meetings, all the hours volunteered, all the staff time and money were just thrown down the drain?

If this goes supernova do you think those Southern at 150 pins will be worth good money on eBay? :)

Good thing Uncle Walt isn't unethical isn't it? Is it illegal too, or just unethical when you rip off your former employer and pass it off as your own work?

My Lord, I see a False Claim here.

And plagiarism, redefined by Poshard (to suit the university's legal purposes) as "for material gain." What's next? A denial that Southern at 150 involved any gain for the university?! What an admission that would be.
