And so when a professor is accused of plagiarism, university does sort of a deep dive. They have these administrative boards and it can take six months, nine months, a year to evaluate, you know, intent matters. Was this intentional theft of another person's idea? That's academic fraud. Or was this sloppy, you know, you missed or just humanity, right? You miss a footnote here or there.

If you're writing about ideas, ideas matter, but you're not supposed to take someone else's words without properly acknowledging them, whether it's quotation marks or otherwise. But in the context of academics' life's work before AI... everyone's going to have missing quotation marks and footnotes. I remember writing my own thesis.

There were books you couldn't take out of Widener Library, so I'd have index cards, and I'd write stuff on index cards, and I'd put a little citation to make sure I remembered to cite it properly. And scrambling to do your thesis, get it in on time, what's the chances you forget at what point what are your words versus the author's words, and you forget to put quotation marks.

Again, I think it would have sent a better message if a leader fails as a leader, and that's the reason for their resignation or dismissal. then she gets, if you will, caught on a technical violation that had nothing to do with failed leadership.
