<p>one of the plagiarized cartoonists disagreed:
<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515394%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515394&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>a student columnist and student cartoonist, but also a professor (again):</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515321%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515321&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>that's MUCH weaker than the previous allegation against ogletree.</p>

5

<p>The Crimson has taken a hard line, so props to the Crimson.</p>

6

<p>He's from my hometown, and everyone thinks he's a hero :/</p>

<p>What? (10 char)</p>

8

<p>you'd think they'd be smart enough (attending harvard and whatnot) not to plagiarize from an issue of newsday that was released a week before.</p>

<p>I really don't think it was wise to put her name to the press for a mistake either, no matter how deserved people think it would be. in fact, who do you think benefits most from having people find out that a COLLEGE STUDENT HAS MADE A MISTAKE, the college? the student? people who love to follow sensational news?</p>

<p>troublesomejason...
I think it's more of an idealistic issue here.</p>

11

<p>what does that mean? :)</p>

<p>fittingly:</p>

<p>... have the students PROMISE NOT TO DO IT!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.yaledailynews.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=34056%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yaledailynews.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=34056&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yale does not currently have an honor code Byerly, so I'm not sure what you're post is about.</p>

15

<p>Umm...apparently there's another twist in the situation:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515456%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=515456&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The Crimson has decided that the cartoons were not plagerized after all.</p>

16

<p>I read the link that WindCloudUltra kindly shared as saying that some cartoons WERE plagiarized ("copied"), just not all that were suspected.</p>

17

<p>The Crimson has been so "holier than thou" about plagiarism - or even the hint of it - that they are frantically rushing around trying to defend the fortress against people who are googling everything they have ever published. Can't say I feel sorry for them. Software which will soon be widely available will enable anybody with an interest in this stuff to check any document online to see if there is so much as a 5-word string identical to anything else online, anywhere.</p>

18

<p>Byerly, LOL. Indeed. Most of us gets our ideas from interactions we form with the outside world, so there really is no coincidence that some articles and some cartoons end up being somewhat similar.</p>

19

<p>Hmm... tokenadult, you're right.
Apparently they changed the position again(?) because I had read an earlier online update and it was slightly different.</p>

<p>I'm getting a bit confused myself....lol</p>
