The lack of implicit or explicit authorization. As the school has lights, you may assume they are authorized implicitly.
This is unproductive and unenlightening pedantry.
- donatj 2y agoI think the throwaway actually raises the valid point about the rule being an exceedingly broad catchall. The type primed for selective and weaponized enforcement. That said, the kids are clearly defenseless in this situation, for blatant plagiarism as well as just being just being factually incorrect in their report.
- ffsm8 2y ago> The type primed for selective and weaponized enforcement Theoretically true, but irrelevant because this particular case isn't that.
- nkrisc 2y agoYes, it is broad, and probably a bad rule. That said, there is more than enough than that simple rule in this case that points toward intentional academic dishonesty. If he was my son, getting off on a technicality isn’t exoneration in my house.
