Given some of the interests here off and on about student plagiarism cases, I thought it might be interesting to offering this example posted by Michael “Orange Crate Art” Leddy about a plagiarism case against the President of Jacksonville State University, William Meehan:

Imagine my joy when I came across this bit of news first thing this morning:
