Dishonesty and Disgrace: A History of University of the Philippines’ Responses to Alleged Acts of Plagiarism Committed by Members of Its Faculty, 1908–2010
This research is an attempt to make a thorough historical survey on how UP has dealt with issues of intellectual dishonesty, in particular plagiarism, leveled against members of its faculty. The focus on faculty members is brought about by the objective of the research to look at UP’s institutional response. Cases of plagiarism against faculty members, given the academic and ethical standards they are held against, usually merit the attention of university authorities and are put on public record, as can be read in the UP Gazette. Plagiarism, however, is not a purely legal concept but an ambiguous one, fully shaded in various grays of ethical norms that are usually context-specific. With plagiarism considered as such, the research has looked at the acts and practices that were considered as plagiarism and how these acts have varied across time. In essence, this is a history of a concept and a practice embedded in the institutional history of the national university.
