Thesis Statement - Plagiarism has become a severe problem among colleges in the United States and now they are actively educating their students on it.

Quote 1 -
"WANT to stop students from cheating on exams and plagiarizing papers? Tell them about honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility.
That advice may seem obvious, but the Center for Academic Integrity is making those points the key recommendations of a new statement called "The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity." The center drafted the policy using a $150,000 grant, and is sending copies to 4,000 college presidents this month. "


Quote 2 -
"The center is already following up on its statement by working with 12 colleges and universities to assess whether their current policies promote academic integrity."
