Deux étudiants plagient et doivent s’expliquer devant le comité de discipline de l’université qu’ils fréquentent. Un seul est trouvé coupable de plagiat, l’autre est excusé. Il s’ensuit une série d’imbroglios administratifs qui ont le potentiel de nuire à l’image de l’université et même d’inciter d’autres étudiants à plagier, soit à l’université, soit, par ricochet, dans leur milieu de travail.

Two students suspected of plagiarism must explain their actions to their university’s Disciplinary Committee. One is found guilty of plagiarism; the other is found innocent. This verdict is followed by a series of administrative mix-ups likely to harm the image of the university and even encourage other students to plagiarize, either during their studies or in their professional life.

Il s’agit de favoriser l’émergence d’une conscience éthique dans le travail universitaire. Il est préférable que les étudiants travaillent seuls. Les étudiants doivent apprendre à aller chercher de l’information complémentaire valide et crédible en plus de celle fournie dans le cas, soit des données primaires (ex. : témoignages, etc.) et des données secondaires (ex. : Statistique Canada, etc.).

This case serves to encourage students to abide by ethical standards in their academic work. They must learn to search for valid and credible primary data (e.g., evidence) and secondary data (e.g., Statistics Canada), other than the information provided in the case. It is recommended that students work alone.
