Here is the link to the Chaska Middle School East Academic Policy on Plagiarism
< >
The handbook has 52 pages, the 28th page deals specifically with plagiarism.
As an educator, I put the following policy on my syllabus for each class that I teach.
Academic Integrity: Honesty in work is absolutely expected in this classroom. We are all here
to learn and our work offers evidence of this occurring. Dishonesty, including copying work from
someone else or from another source (including the web), allowing your own work to be copied,
talking or using notes during a quiz or test (unless allowed), and any other dishonest actions will
result in serious consequences. There will be no points given for the involved assignment and
further action could ensue. DO YOUR OWN WORK AND DO IT WELL - BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORT!
Due to the conversation that occured in the meeting today, I thought we could add resources about the consequences of plagiarism together.
Here is one interesting article about the consequences of plagiarism that I found, that states:
"The average punishment for students found guilty of cheating at Yale is a two-semester suspension, Ms. Cutler says. The average punishment is the same at Ms. Viswanathan's institution, Harvard, where the plagiarism policy is outlined in a one-hour lecture during freshman orientation."

Here is another article, that states:
"Colleges and universities take plagiarism every bit as seriously as Baylor does, and they assume that students know, or should know, how to avoid it. Students may be suspended or expelled from college for plagiarizing. As the passage at left notes, they may also have their diplomas revoked after they have graduated."
