Last semester, the OU Student board of conduct had to
prosecute something like 17 students out of a class of
30 for various levels of plagarism surrounding their
final papers. Many of these students had lifted,
without citing, entire paragraphs from Wikipedia
articles. This Fall, the OU Daily ran a front page
headling piece entitled something like "Wikipedia May
Not Alway Be Valid Resource".
The fact that took a newspaper article blows my mind.
