Online Plagiarist Sues University
raistphrk writes "The Reg reports that an English student at the University of Kent has sued the university after the university caught him ripping his papers off the Internet and kicked him out of the English program. I guess the stakes are now being raised for universities that use services to check for plagiarized papers."
I stole someone else fp. I couldn't figure out how to write my own.
Are you *sure* this is in England and not in South Park Colorado?

sue his parents, and anyone else he has ever interacted with, for producing either an idiot or a liar, whichever he is.
Heh, the University should say they only found out about the problem on the last day, and that they decided to award an honorary degree to the service he used, and a F to the student.
On the other hand, hes top of the class in his law module!

Whether he wins or loses that case, you have to ask yourself, would you want to HIRE him to work for you?
I wouldn't want him myself, but apparently there is no end to the number of companies that would want to hire him into management. Shame he went after an english degree, his real talent was in law.
Except that the University (presumably) didn't place ads showing beautiful people having a wonderful time and enjoying life because they were downloading papers off the internet.
Whether he wins or loses that case, you have to ask yourself, would you want to HIRE him to work for you?
In a heartbeat.

I have an English BA, which I picked up accidentally while working on my CS BS.
Response 1:
So you're the bastard whose got it! I just put it down for a few minutes beside the printer in the computer lab, and when I got back it was gone!

Lucky sod - the rest of us have to work at picking up girls/guys.

That's nothing. While studying for my maths degree, I picked up three PhDs, two MBAs and a Diploma in Human Resources Management, and all without leaving my e-mail client.
