A book by a Harvard Professor includes six paragraphs lifted directly from another book
Yahoo! News reports today. The error occurred apparently by allowing others to do some of the editing.
Not having seen the book personally it's difficult to know whether Professor Charles J. Ogletree acknowledged the work of these other editors (were they students?) but I know in most universities a student would find it hard to justify plagiarism on the grounds of someone else doing the final edit of their assignment. This rather sounds like one rule for me and one rule for you. If we expect our students to not to plagiarise then it is imperative that faculty not only talk the talk but also walk the walk.
