(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 195)
The General Board has approved the following amendment to the University-wide Statement on Plagiarism, so as to clarify that students may not use previously-assessed or published work without due acknowledgement.
By amending the first sentence of the second paragraph so as to read:
Plagiarism is defined as submitting as one’s own work, irrespective of intent to deceive, that which derives in part or in its entirety from the work of others without due acknowledgement; or, in the case of self-plagiarism, unless explicitly permitted by regulation, submitting one’s own work that has already been submitted for assessment to satisfy the requirements of any other academic qualification, or submitted for publication without due acknowledgement. It is both poor scholarship and a breach of academic integrity.
