Essay: Posted by M— N—–

Somebody posts, on a website for freelance writers, an offer to pay $40 for someone to write a very specific essay that looks very much like an academic assignment. The student leaves his name, UWEC e-mail address, snail mail address, and telephone number. One of the freelancers who reads that message board decides to let a UWEC faculty member know about it. That UWEC faculty member passes on the URL. Legal note: the student is innocent until proven guilty…. let’s hope he realizes what’s at stake here, and decides to write the damn paper himself. (This is not an assignment for any of my classes, and I don’t know the student.) —Essay: Posted by M— N—–[slacker]@uwec.edu)
