Abstrakt: This study investigated faculty experiences of plagiarism. Participants were drawn from three social science listservs, and completed an on-line survey regarding their knowledge of institutional policies on plagiarism and their experiences with administrators when reporting it. Findings revealed that most faculty members knew of institutional plagiarism policies, and that reporting was most often done through a chairperson. Faculty members who reported plagiarism to their chairs, deans, and judicial boards mostly felt supported afterward. Significant differences by age and rank were found in reporting. Implications for practice include policy buy-in from all stakeholders and addressing issues related to reporting by younger, untenured faculty members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
