Plagiarism: That’s Hot!

Wait! There’s more. Now the Crimson admits that one of its own writers has also committed plagiarism.
Columnist Victoria Ilyinsky apparently ripped off Slate when she wrote about the hideous abuse of the word “literally.” As in, “I was so uninspired and lazy that I, like, literally plagiarized someone else’s work, okay?”
To its credit, the Crimson cancelled Ilyinsky’s column.
Sara Schweitzer reports on the matter in today’s Globe. She does not appear to have ripped anyone off in her story. But, hey, you never know!

Actually, the Crimson (citing a faculty English professor) said that it was not literally plagiarism.
