Two Florida Atlantic University researchers who published a paper
on detecting plagiarism stand accused on committing the very wrong
they set out to prevent.
“A plagiarized article about plagiarism!” is how Michael
Heberling, a professor from Michigan, reacted when he saw the FAU
team's article.
Retired FAU business Professor William Ryan and FAU graduate
student assistant Lindsey Hamlin published their piece on plagiarism
in last month's online edition of Syllabus magazine.

article sparks copycatting duel
I'm experiencing lots of schadenfreude today. In this case, it's my old alma mater, FAU, and in other news, ex-FAU administrator Carla
Coleman President Anthony
Catanese is arrested.
FAU is such a fun
school …
Update on Tuesday, July 1st, 2003
My friend Ken Maier just wrote in to
clarify that it wasn't Anthony Catanese that was arrested,
but Carla Coleman.
I'm going to have to work on my reading
comprehension skills now …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name,
symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a
