$$ vs. morals, round 2

Dear Prudence,
I work in a staff position at a major research university. To earn a little extra money, I freelance edit theses and dissertations for graduate students. Several times my clients have asked me perform services that go beyond the standard technical editing realm. One doctoral student handed me raw data from a survey and said, “I’ve gone as far as I can go; the rest is up to you.” I was shocked that she expected me to analyze her data and write the dissertation. I ended that relationship, explaining that I was not expert in her field. In other situations, I’ve seen students plagiarize entire paragraphs. I have gently noted my concerns to the students in these cases. In situations of breach of academic integrity, is my allegiance to my client (or former client!), or should I inform the committee chair?

  • "The data analyzed clearly shows, with a P value of 0.000005 that Xenu threw the Thetans into the volcano, and then Jesus and the velociraptors placed the displaced Thetans into all of the humans on earth. This symbiotic scenario accounts for the surge in Krispy Kreme sales and for the Nielsen ratings of Naked and Afraid and 2 Broke Girls."

    I have zero tolerance for lazy doctoral fucks. Write your own shit, use your own brain. That's the point. Or plagiarists.
