The Writing Committee's spring of four presentations and discussions on academic integrity, titled “Plagiarism and Its Just Desserts,” will conclude on Thursday, March 24, with a rescheduled lecture from March 3 in a new location.
Three faculty members will explore “Cultural Perspectives on Plagiarism” from 4:30-6 p.m. in Old Main, Room G-10.
The panel discussion features Linda Lavine, associate professor of psychology; Kathy Lattimore, lecturer in English; and Hongli Fan, assistant professor of French.
The committee bases its theme on the following famous line from an anonymous 1599 play titled, A Warning Faire Women: “Upon a pillory — that al the world may see, A just desert for such impiety.”
The talk is free and open to the public. Attendees will get what they deserve: a dessert reception of cakes, cookies and other sweets.
