Politico: Gorsuch Lifted Entire Passages for Book Without Citations
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Politico is reporting Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch
borrowed heavily from several authors for his 2006 book and an academic
article-without citing their work. In one chapter in "The Future of
Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia," Gorsuch lifted entire passages from an
Indiana Law Journal article, with minor additions and changes to verb
tenses. Syracuse University writing professor Rebecca Moore Howard told
Politico, "Each of the individual incidents constitutes a violation of
academic ethics. I've never seen a college plagiarism code that this
would not be in violation of."
