Oops:
Southern Illinois University drafted a new plagiarism policy in 2007 after facing scrutiny for several high profile copying controversies, but now the school has another awkward problem: It appears the policy plagiarizes part of a document created by Indiana University in 2005.
Southern Illinois is not alone in lifting the material. Several other groups have also decided to adopt parts of the policy, but they attributed it to Indiana University, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, which reported the story Wednesday.
Maybe they should call in Vice President Joe Biden as a consultant; bet he could straighten 'em out.
