As a program director for a Masters degree in a business school, I would beam curious to know about higher education policies regarding disciplinary sanctions for plagiarism:. This is for both in official rules and in actual cases.
I am most interested in the cases where the characterization of plagiarism is not a black and white situation (as is often the case), but the stakes are not minor. To imagine an abstract case: plagiarism committed on a part of a final dissertation. How can disciplinary sanctions scale, before going all out with suspending or expelling the student, while remaining deterring?
