The following information was determined during the committee meeting and you should consider this information in your 3 key points.
At the grievance hearing, Larry tells the committee that the faculty member who accused him of plagiarism is much younger and seems to be trying to "make a name for himself." Larry told the faculty member that he has never had another faculty member identify plagiarism in his work.
Upon interviewing Larry Learner and Eddie Educator the committee discovers the following information:
Larry Learner admits he did not review the plagiarism policy but did sign the contract saying he will adhere to all policies.
Eddie Educator tells the committee that Larry had an issue with APA in an earlier assignment and was directed to see the writing tutor for help.
In an interview with Terri Tutor, she tells you that Larry never kept his appointment
The committee's next step is to consider all the information and apply the policy for plagiarism (use the policy that you found). Present the policy and identify three key points useful to this case.
