Dear Doctors,
One of my classmates won an academic award for an article that I know he plagiarized. It doesn’t sit right with me. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Perplexed
Dear Perplexed,
You could approach him directly and tell him that you know what he did. This will give him the opportunity to do the right thing. If he does not, then you are morally obligated to report him for academic dishonesty.
Best Wishes,
Fishstick
Dear Perplexed,
No one likes a rat. Then again, you could probably talk him into paying you $100 to keep your mouth shut.
Cheers!
