Plagiarism is the most heinous offense in all of journalism and in education. The Richland College catalog defines Plagiarism as “the appropriating, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means another’s work and the unacknowledged submission or incorporation of it in one’s own written work.”
Any student who plagiarizes by submitting a story, review, editorial, column, brief, photo, illustration or any other work that someone else produced and does not properly attribute the source or creator will be barred for life from participating in or contributing to any aspect of Richland College student publications at the discretion of the faculty adviser and may be referred to college officials for disciplinary action.
