Public interest case September 2014 | Not Justified
University of Leeds
We see a number of complaints relating to work that it is suspected was "ghosted" or taken from the internet. It is increasingly common for universities to use viva examinations and analysis where plagiarism is suspected and we don't consider this unreasonable.
Public interest case September 2014 | Not Justified
The University of Salford
We reviewed a complaint from a student at the University of Salford about the way the University had dealt with allegations of academic misconduct and his subsequent appeal. The student was accused of collusion. Part of his complaint was that members of the Academic Misconduct Panel had been made aware of a previous occasion on which he had plagiarised work. This made no difference to the current case as the student admitted the collusion offence.
