Plagiarism A sophomore was referred to Student Judicial Affairs (SJA) for plagiarism.The student’s paper contained material copied from multiple sources and little original work.The student claimed she had submitted the wrong copy of the paper to the professor by accident,but this claim seemed highly unlikely since copied portions of the paper were purposely altered.In any case,students at UC Davis are responsible for all work submitted,intentionally or not,as long astheir names are on it.Due to the severity of copying,the student agreed to a sanction of15hours of community service,a plagiarism writing assignment with the Learning Skills Center and deferred separation until graduation.Deferred separation means that if a student is found in violationforan act of misconduct in the future,he or she would almost certainly be suspended or dismissed.
