Internet Takes Blame for Increase in Cheating - Lauren Young, UCSB Daily Nexus
The number of students found guilty of academic misconduct is on the rise despite UCSB's efforts to end plagiarism. In 2002-03 the university handled 27 cases of academic misconduct, including 14 cases of Internet plagiarism, 10 cases of non-Internet plagiarism and three cases of cheating during exams. There were 19 students found guilty of academic misconduct during the Spring and Summer of 2003, of which one was expelled, 16 were suspended and two were put on academic probation. Although this year's statistics have not yet been compiled, the number of violations is expected to exceed that of last year. Campus Conduct Educator, Brandon Brod said student academic misconduct has been particularly high this year. The university has recently received 10 new cases, all of which will most likely be punished by suspension. Brod said he attributes the increased amount of plagiarism to the Internet.
