The Sydney Morning Herald today "Copying and cheating rife at universities" reports on plagiarism in NSW universities, based on responses received to FOI applications.
It's not surprising that plagiarism is a major problem and is on the rise, but it is interesting that, according to the report, Sydney University posts the number of incidents on its website, while the University of NSW and University of New England are yet to even respond to the FOI applications.
