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 actually agree in one way or another. I think that the university probably wanted to suck him dry and then take his degree. They kicked him out on his LAST day? He had been cheating the entire time before that.

England has now become the USA.
Upon first detecting the offense, they should have booted him.
The University's behavior was clearly out of line in that it was unduly cruel and unusual. Further, it was a drain on resources they were not entitled to since they had decided from the beginning they were not going to give him the degree he was spending time trying to acquire.
His method of acquisition was inappropriate but punishment should fit the crime. The punishment itself, in this case, was fraudulent since they decided from early on that he would be removed.
He should have a complete refund awarded to him though of course he should receive no degree since he didn't earn it.
Jesus Christ, people. If that's not too fucking hot, what is?

How hard is it to get that it's only _americans_ that are stupid enough to BOTH do something harmful and THEN blame it on someone else AND try to get money out of it?
Really - look it up sometime. The rest of the world is _still_ laughing.
