The first thing that came to mind when reading this article was that any one can be found guilty of plagiarism if they commit it, for example in here it’s Eugene Tobin, the ex president of Hamilton College. I’ve always known about the seriousness of plagiarism throughout my life as it was always discussed in my previous classes whenever I’ve had to do a research project. I completely agree with Isserman that plagiarism is wrong and unjustified because the person is taking someone else’s words and ideas as if it were their own and not giving the original source credit. In my opinion, I see plagiarism as a form of theft in all honesty.

I agree with you charles because i too have been taught in previous classes how serious plagiarism is. I also believe the higher you go on the ladder of success the more serious the penalty for plagiarism gets. Also to be the president of a college you know what plagiarism is and how serious it is taken and for someone to do it knowingly that is very disrespectful. Charles from reading your post i can tell that we have a very similar perspective on the seriousness of plagiarism and how much of a disservice it is to people’s success.
