The plagiarism policy that was plagiarized

How embarrassing is this? A committee at Southern Illinois University was supposed to develop a
plagiarism policy, but somehow ended up plagiarizing Indiana University's plagiarism policy.

Members of a committee formed in response to plagiarism accusations
levied against a former university administrator received word this
week that they need to reconvene and examine documents they may have
plagiarized.

According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the 10-member committee
of Southern Illinois University academics and administrators
commissioned to develop a plagiarism policy may have borrowed from
Indiana University’s definition—without citing IU.

The policy may be in draft form, but the officials are definitely in daft form. If the draft is plagiarized, there's a pretty good chance that the final document would be plagiarized too.

Perhaps the president of SIU should send the committee members a note reprimanding them. But before he does that, he'd better make sure the president of Indiana University hasn't sent out an identical note.
