Harvard Professors Commit Plagiarism

Several undergraduates of Harvard University are found guilty of plagiarism and will be suspended for at least two semesters. Harvard University has no tolerance for acts such as these, yet two of Harvard's finest law professors have also been found guilty of plagiarism this fall. Professors Charles J. Ogletree Jr. and Lawrence H. Tribe recently publicy announced they have "misused sources" and as a result may lose their position at the university. Ogletree and Tribe claim it was accidental, yet many students claim the same and are punished. Several scholars state that their public announcement resulted in extreme humilation and that alone is enough punishment, yet Professor Giller states "the discovery is the punishment."
