Fighting College Plagiarism With Plagiarism

This was ironic:

I quote:

It seemed like an honorable goal: Draft an honor code for University of
Texas at San Antonio students to follow, exhorting them not to cheat or
plagiarize.
But when students threw a draft of the new honor code onto the
Internet for feedback, some noticed a problem: Parts of
the
code
appeared to have been lifted word for word from another school’s
honor code
, without attribution. Even the definition of plagiarism
was, well, plagiarized.


All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
