Plagiarism Resource Site

Occurrences of academic dishonesty have decreased at Duke: Twenty-one students were charged with academic dishonesty during the Spring 2005 semester—a decrease from 25 students the previous fall and 33 students the spring before. Eighteen students were found guilty of the charges, and one case is still pending. Occurrences of plagiarism, however, have remained consistent: "Since Fall 2004, the number of plagiarism charges has remained almost constant, varying by only one case per semester."
