Yet more on plagiarism at Harvard

What's good for the students isn't necessarily good enough for the faculty, as the NY Times reports:

When it comes to its students, Harvard University policy shows little tolerance for plagiarism.

Undergraduates found guilty of "misusing sources" will "likely" be required to withdraw from the college for at least two semesters. They will lose all coursework they have done that semester (unless it is virtually over), along with the money they have paid for it. They must also leave Cambridge.

With such a policy for students, what is Harvard to do when two of its most prominent law professors, Charles J. Ogletree Jr. and Laurence H. Tribe, publicly acknowledge that they have unintentionally misused sources, as happened this fall?
