Original Note:
MIT's academic integrity handbook clearly states that failure to use quotation marks (even if the source is cited) is plagiarism. https://web.archive.org/web/20090217073446/http://web.mit.edu/academicintegrity/plagiarism/quoting.html https://integrity.mit.edu/sites/default/files/images/AcademicIntegrityHandbook2020-color.pdf (p.14) There is precedent for revoking academic degrees in cases of plagiarism. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5259274 https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/slideshows/high-profile-people-whose-degrees-were-revoked?slide=7 https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/slideshows/high-profile-people-whose-degrees-were-revoked?slide=8 https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/slideshows/high-profile-people-whose-degrees-were-revoked?slide=11
