Democracy In Action

san antonio—Compiled by a student group at the University of Texas at San Antonio, the draft of an honor code covering such topics as cheating and plagiarism was found to have been copied from another text. Sections of the draft matched word for word a similar code from Brigham Young University (which credits the Center for Academic Integrity for some of its language). Akshay Thusu, the student in charge of the draft, said, "We don't want to have an honor code that is stolen."
