“In an interview with the committee, Poshard said he couldn’t recall “hearing instruction on the meaning of plagiarism’’ but simply thought it was intentionally stealing others’ work. The committee found there was no definition of plagiarism in the graduate student handbook at the time.”

The janitor’s wife never buys brooms or mops, either.

Uh, would you mind defining "mop"? I can't find it's definition in my FR handbook. Thanks!

Whether plagiarism was defined in the student’s guide or not is irrelevant. The dictionary is still a useful tool when one is unsure of a word’s definition/meaning.
