MSU Profs say plagiarism increasing - AMY BARTNER, The State News

MSU faculty members fear an unprecedented number of students are using the Internet to cheat and plagiarize. "It's becoming clear to the faculty that it's becoming more widespread," said Tom Wolff, associate dean for undergraduate studies for the College of Engineering, citing an incident in a computer class during fall semester where several students shared answers. After the incident, Wolff said the engineering college made a statement that cheaters will not be tolerated. "We're sending a message among faculty that if you invoke the appropriate penalty grade that the college will stand behind you," he said.
