<p>I’m willing to bet that the school will keep mum about this. I do not think the teacher will be so stringent as to report this, in all considerations, minor offense, especially if it has happened for the first time. If, however, the behavior continues, he or she will feel obligated to report it to the councilor.<br>
Unless the original poster or other witnesses go out and report the incident to a newspaper, i don’t see how columbia would find out about this, I think there is a very small risk in the school being blacklisted. </p>
<p>Just a note. I do not condone plagiarism at all, I am just stating what I think will be the likely course of events to take place. Cheating is a horrible offense, especially in a community where academics are of the utmost importance. I sincerely hope that person will not repeat his or her actions at Columbia, because they will most definitely catch and expel him or her from school.</p>
