I'm sorry but this sounds like a bunch of spoiled rich kids complaining about being held to any kind of meaningful standard.

@GuerillaOntologist Agreed, but I can't say grades constitute a meaningful standard.

@lwriemen As one who once had to grade a lot of chem 101 papers, I have to disagree. Sometimes there are right and wrong answers and until some better method comes along for indicating exactly how wrong someone's answers are (and that allows for punishing plagiarists) I'm fine with it. Back when I was grading chem 101 papers, that was the major problem: the department wouldn't let you give an F for plagiarism, no matter how blatant - i.e. systemically low academic standards, reflected in grades.
