Peter,
This seminar sound very interesting, but unfortunately I shall not be
able to attend at this short notice because I have engagements on both
days. It's also a pity that it's so close to the JISC event. Are you
going to that one? In case your are not, I attach my paper for it, which
expands on a brief section in my origional paper on plagiarism in
philosophy. I'd be interested in your comments.
I'm in favour of the view that the gulf between academic practice (in
theory at least) and practice elsewhere should be narrowed. However, I
think we both agree that there is such a thing as cheating which needs
to be stamped on, and that we need to get tough on academics who condone
it for whatever reason.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
George.

Subject: Seminar: PLAGIARISM: CRIMINALISING STUDENTS?
Importance: High
If you don't already know about it, may I draw your attention to this
seminar on June 17/18 at the Missenden Centre?
PLAGIARISM: CRIMINALISING STUDENTS?
Today students can obtain a quote for a tailor-made essay or
dissertation,
quality guaranteed, by contacting one of the many companies or essay
banks now available on the web. You can check on what it costs them, by
visiting www.degree-essays.com for instance. Graduates are invited to
apply for a job preparing material for these companies to sell.
When lies and deception are apparently routine among directors of large
companies, politicians, journalists, parents, police and even some
academics, how can universities deter students from unfair practice and
respond when they do plagiarise? And how are conscientious students to
rebut accusations of cheating? These and related questions will be
addressed by
Susan Bassnett, University of Warwick
Fiona Duggan, JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service
Peter Levin, LSE
