00:02:30I know I didn't do anything wrong, so just go ahead, whoever.
00:02:37Mr. Ward, it would appear the floor is yours.
00:02:40Okay. Thank you.
00:02:49I'd like to start off by thanking the tribunal for being here today.
00:02:52I'm sure there are places that you would rather be on a Friday, but frankly, I'll take any
00:02:57excuse I can get to get away from my thesis.
00:02:59I'll begin by showing how April Chen has shown a history of deceit and disrespect towards myself
00:03:13and this university.
00:03:15You see, this all began in our Poli-Sci 100 class.
00:03:22April. Hi.
00:03:25Please, have a seat.
00:03:26So, this is your second year here at DuPont, correct?
00:03:37Yeah.
00:03:37And where are you from?
00:03:40My family moved here from China when I was nine.
00:03:43What part of China?
00:03:44It wasn't a major city.
00:03:47I might know it.
00:03:47It's called Harbin?
00:03:52It's in the north.
00:03:55I...
00:03:55Yeah, I think I've heard of it.
00:03:57The, uh, the north.
00:03:58Right.
00:03:58Yes.
00:03:59Um.
00:04:01So.
00:04:02Your paper.
00:04:04Now.
00:04:04As you can see here, the...
00:04:08Oh, uh...
00:04:09I got it.
00:04:13Trying to quit, you know?
00:04:14Yeah, no, I gave up on that a while ago.
00:04:17Smoking?
00:04:18No, trying to quit.
00:04:25Your paper.
00:04:27You see these two passages?
00:04:30See that they're the same?
00:04:34Everything else in your paper is cited, so do you think maybe you just forgot to cite this paragraph?
00:04:44Will I be penalized?
00:04:49I'll let you off this time.
00:04:50Oh, okay.
00:04:52But keep an eye on the future, all right?
00:04:55Sure.
00:04:59I appreciate you coming in.
00:05:02No problem.
00:05:04Oh, okay.
00:05:09So you let her go?
00:05:11Yes, but that is besides the point.
00:05:13Why didn't you report this to Professor Thornton?
00:05:16With all due respect, I don't think that people like you...
00:05:20I don't think that those outside of the teaching faculty understand what it's like for us TAs.
00:05:25You see, there's just so many students for us to deal with,
00:05:28and I can't waste Professor Thornton's time with each and every minor infraction.
00:05:32Oh, sorry.
00:05:34So, this takes us to the second time that I met with April.
00:05:51April.
00:05:55Hello?
00:05:56April.
00:05:57Have a seat.
00:06:05Can you please tell me, in your own words, what academic integrity means to you?
00:06:09Oh, um, I guess it means being original and, um, citing your sources?
00:06:19The reason I ask is because I'm wondering if this is in line with what you just said.
00:06:24This is your paper, and this is a paper that was published just last year.
00:06:38Do you notice anything?
00:06:39Because aside from a few minor cosmetic changes, these two opening paragraphs are essentially identical.
00:06:47I've never seen that other essay before.
00:06:50Listen, I'm just trying to find out if this supports your own definition of academic integrity.
00:06:54I'm not a cheater.
00:07:03Okay.
00:07:05That's how you feel, then I have no choice but hand this off to Professor Thornton,
00:07:08and he can deal with you.
00:07:12Goodbye.
00:07:13Goodbye.
00:07:13I'm very disappointed in you.
00:07:30I then handed that paper over to Professor Thornton.
00:07:33Sir?
00:07:35Uh, okay, yeah.
00:07:38I, uh, questioned Miss Chen on the details of her essay,
00:07:41and I concluded that the similarities between the papers were just a mere coincidence.
00:07:47I didn't feel it was necessary to bring that to the tribunal at that time.
00:07:50Because you believe that she didn't cheat?
00:07:53Yes, that became apparent when I spoke with her.
00:07:55Although I don't blame Keith for bringing this matter to my attention.
00:07:58It was an honest mistake.
00:07:59Alan, your teaching assistant here seems to be trying to establish a pattern of deceit.
00:08:04Do you feel perhaps you were deceived in this case?
00:08:08No, I think I know a liar when I see one, Richard.
00:08:12You sure about that?
00:08:17Yeah, I'm sure.
00:08:19Professor, I have to ask, do you think that we're all here today because of another,
00:08:24what you might call, honest mistake?
00:08:27No.
00:08:29I believe that April's third and final essay...
00:08:32The one that we're judging here today?
00:08:33Yes, that essay was indeed plagiarized.
00:08:39Which brings me...
00:08:40Why don't we all quickly take a break?
00:08:43You think we could get the AC on?
00:08:45Yes, please.
00:08:46They must have shut it off for the summer.
00:08:49I'll see if I can get someone in.
00:08:58You judge many of these.
00:09:01Eh, not really.
00:09:02If you're from student advocacy, that means you're still in law school, right?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:08Applying to firms soon, and they love this kind of shit on a resume.
00:09:13See, I would have thought you were doing this just for the satisfaction of helping out the less fortunate.
00:09:18You know how much law school costs?
00:09:20I am the less fortunate.
00:09:24Hey, you.
00:09:25Oh, yeah.
00:09:26There's nothing.
00:09:27There's nothing.
00:09:27Josh, bud, I'm right here.
00:09:34You can't keep pretending that you don't notice me.
00:09:35You write for a student newspaper, Russ.
00:09:37No one notices you.
00:09:38Just tell me about this tribunal that's coming up.
00:09:40Apparently, it's about a female computer science student.
00:09:43I didn't even know there were any girls in CS.
00:09:45Oh, well, that's a bit sexist.
00:09:46It's just the facts.
00:09:47What are they, like a fifth of your department?
00:09:48I'd say that's a shortage.
00:09:49We can't force women to major in computer science, Russ.
00:09:52Just like we can't force you to major in something useful.
00:09:54What is that supposed to mean?
00:09:56It means we don't need any more liberal artists in the world.
00:09:58We need more plumbers.
00:09:59Oh, thanks for the career advice.
00:10:00Well, I figure I'm already good at shoveling shit, so...
00:10:02Josh, I know that as the comp side department rep, you sit on those tribunals.
00:10:05I can't talk about my duties pertaining to the tribunals.
00:10:08Well, here's what I know so far.
00:10:09It's a girl, and I hear that she's Asian.
00:10:11Well, Asians, those we don't have a shortage of.
00:10:12Please forget I said that.
00:10:20Bro, what do you take me for?
00:10:22It's forgotten.
00:10:23So tell me about this tribunal.
00:10:26Okay, okay.
00:10:29Her name's April Chen.
00:10:31She created a publishing platform that got bought up by Snakeskin.
00:10:34There's already a job waiting for in the valley.
00:10:36Also, it doesn't hurt that she's, you know...
00:10:38What?
00:10:40Oh, a hot female computer science star.
00:10:43In our world, we call that a unicorn.
00:10:44So are we good?
00:10:45Yeah.
00:10:45Okay.
00:10:45I just need one more thing from you.
00:10:49What?
00:10:51Okay.
00:10:56Should be cooling off shortly.
00:11:00First time?
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:04I was just promoted to co-chair of the department.
00:11:07However, this...
00:11:08This was not in the job description.
00:11:10Seems like you and Alan know each other well.
00:11:14Yeah, we went to grad school together.
00:11:16Quite the long friendship.
00:11:19I wouldn't say we're friends.
00:11:26Hey, just so you know, you shouldn't feel obligated to talk.
00:11:31I mean, you know, if you don't want to.
00:11:33Why wouldn't I talk?
00:11:34Well, because that's kind of my job.
00:11:37I'm here, so you don't have to go through this thing alone.
00:11:42Can you please stop coddling me?
00:11:45I'm not some kind of victim.
00:11:47I'm just innocent.
00:11:48Okay?
00:11:50Okay.
00:11:54Typical administrative bureaucrat.
00:11:56She has no idea what it means to be an academic.
00:11:59This pantomime of a court is what you asked for, Keith.
00:12:04And you got it.
00:12:05Sir, I really think we should be working together on this.
00:12:10The other?
00:12:12You went behind my back.
00:12:14Only because, you know, there wasn't any time.
00:12:17If I didn't petition for this tribunal, she would have graduated.
00:12:18Right, right.
00:12:20And you think it was right to drag me in your little crusade?
00:12:24Hmm?
00:12:24When I got the email from Judge Judy over there approving this hearing,
00:12:28I was too embarrassed to tell her I didn't know what she was talking about.
00:12:33All because you didn't go through the proper channels.
00:12:43Yeah, I heard back from Belgrade this morning.
00:12:47And?
00:12:52Oh, shit.
00:12:54You just have to keep applying until you find a university that's the right fit.
00:12:58You'll get hired eventually.
00:13:01Yeah.
00:13:11I thought it was with the cravings.
00:13:17I'm good.
00:13:20Mr. Ward?
00:13:22Ready when you are.
00:13:24The reason that we are all here today is because of April Chen's final essay for International
00:13:36History 300.
00:13:38This paper examines the role that the atomic bomb played in Japan's surrender of World War
00:13:43World War II, the essay offers a succinct analysis of the Hasegawa interpretation, which posits that the Japanese decision to surrender was not because of the two nuclear bombs dropped on them.
00:13:55No.
00:13:56The real reason that they surrendered was because of a little known pact with the Soviets that fell through.
00:14:01Now, this theory is controversial because...
00:14:05You know what?
00:14:08Ms. Chen, would you like to expand further on the subject?
00:14:12The interpretation is controversial because it basically suggests that after the war, Japan elicited the sympathy of the international community by portraying itself as the victim of an atrocity and used it to overshadow the role as the violent aggressors they were earlier in the war, such as during the rape of Nan King.
00:14:40And Coral Harbor, of course, yes, that is virtually identical wording as to what is in this essay right here.
00:14:45So, are you going to accuse me of plagiarizing myself?
00:14:47Only someone who's worried about being caught for plagiarism would go through the effort of memorizing this paper word for word.
00:14:53So I know my topic too well?
00:14:54No, you know it too precisely.
00:14:55There's a difference.
00:14:56You see, it doesn't matter if you question April on the contents of this essay.
00:14:59She will simply regurgitate the words for you like some kind of robot.
00:15:02Now, if I may, I would like to call my first witness.
00:15:07Mr. Ward.
00:15:09Well, I don't have any issue with you calling any witnesses.
00:15:12This isn't a court of law.
00:15:14We can't exactly put people under oath.
00:15:17We would like to call in witnesses to testify on April's behalf as well.
00:15:21You can't.
00:15:23We are within our right to question.
00:15:24No, we are here to prove that plagiarism has occurred, right?
00:15:28That's why we're all here.
00:15:30We're not here so that she can bring in her people to prove that such a thing did not occur.
00:15:35This is my case to prove.
00:15:41If I may?
00:15:44I think we should let the student defend herself in whatever way she wants.
00:15:49And that just seems fair.
00:15:51I'm inclined to agree.
00:15:53We have to try to treat this like a real courtroom, even if it is just a simulation of one.
00:15:59A simulacrum.
00:16:02What?
00:16:03The precise term for what we're doing here is a simulacrum.
00:16:07Are you quite finished?
00:16:12Let's get on with it, then.
00:16:20Deborah!
00:16:23Hi, Irene.
00:16:29So, uh, how was your first day?
00:16:31Did you meet everyone, or?
00:16:33Almost, I think.
00:16:35I just finished speaking with the vice provost academic, Teresa.
00:16:39Actually, it's Teresa.
00:16:41She's the vice president of faculty and academic life.
00:16:44Oh, I thought you were the VP of faculty and academic life.
00:16:49No, I'm the assistant vice president of the Office of Academic Operations.
00:16:54And that's separate from the vice president of students and...
00:16:57Undergraduate education.
00:16:59Yeah, that's right.
00:17:00Okay, so as academic integrity officer, I'm under the purview of...
00:17:04That would be my supervisor, the vice president and provost of DuPont.
00:17:08Oh, I see.
00:17:09So are you my boss, or am I yours?
00:17:17Well, technically, I'm your superior.
00:17:20Oh, my gosh.
00:17:21I know.
00:17:21I was...
00:17:23Never mind.
00:17:24So, I'm having a small dinner party next week with some potential donors,
00:17:31and I think it would be a good idea if you'd be there.
00:17:33Oh, I'd love that.
00:17:36We'll be spotlighting the new recruitment initiatives in Asia.
00:17:40Great.
00:17:40I'll look over the materials.
00:17:41No, you don't need to look over the materials.
00:17:44What's important for you to understand is that it's a sensitive time
00:17:47to be marketing Western education in that region.
00:17:50There's a growing perception that Canadian schools are as unaccommodating to foreigners
00:17:59as the American ones.
00:18:01But our message is clear.
00:18:03We're not like the Americans.
00:18:06We're better than that.
00:18:08Yes.
00:18:09We are.
00:18:17You know, the little twerp's right.
00:18:19Technically, we are engaging in a simulacrum,
00:18:22which doesn't make him any less of a very real little shit.
00:18:28I'm sorry.
00:18:30May I please take this call?
00:18:32Mr. Ward?
00:18:35My eyewitness just got off the streetcar,
00:18:37so he's going to be another five minutes.
00:18:39Make it quick, Miss Jen.
00:18:40Thanks.
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:41Thanks.
00:18:49Hi, Mom.
00:18:50小春宝贝,我们刚刚下飞机呢。
00:18:53How's your flight?
00:18:54好好,很好.
00:18:56我们每位家族都很兴奋
00:18:58三个星期参加你的毕业典礼呢。
00:19:01你自己应该也很期待吧?
00:19:04Yeah.
00:19:05在干嘛呀?
00:19:06吃饭了吗?
00:19:07I'm at lunch with friends.
00:19:09学士服和帽都跳好了吗?
00:19:12Uh, yeah.
00:19:14去领行李啦?
00:19:15很快见.
00:19:16Okay, bye-bye.
00:19:20I have a proposition for you.
00:19:22We can end this here and now.
00:19:24If you just admit what you did to me,
00:19:26I'll let you rewrite the essay
00:19:27and I'll mark it next week.
00:19:31So, I'll miss the ceremony?
00:19:33Yeah, but who cares?
00:19:34They'll mail you your degree.
00:19:37I think you're a good kid.
00:19:38You made a mistake,
00:19:39and I can forgive you
00:19:41as long as you just admit what you did
00:19:43and apologize.
00:19:45I apologize.
00:19:48Yes.
00:19:51I'm not a cheater.
00:19:56You sure you want all those people in there
00:19:57to find out who you really are?
00:20:00We don't need to go through all that.
00:20:03Do we?
00:20:03I'm okay with who I really am.
00:20:10Are you?
00:20:21Tell us your name and what you do.
00:20:24Ian Reid, I'm a poli-sci grad student
00:20:26and teaching assistant here at DuPont.
00:20:28And what are you currently working on?
00:20:31My dissertation is preliminarily titled
00:20:33Peace, Order, and Good, Gnocchi,
00:20:36Understanding Quebec's Italian Diaspora.
00:20:39And when you're marking students,
00:20:42can you tell us how you detect
00:20:43if a paper's been plagiarized?
00:20:45Sure.
00:20:46The main thing is inconsistencies within the essay.
00:20:49What do you mean by inconsistencies?
00:20:53Well, for example,
00:20:54if the first and last paragraph of an essay
00:20:56is poorly written,
00:20:57but then the middle section is perfect,
00:20:59that's a red flag.
00:21:01Hmm.
00:21:02What else?
00:21:03If the student's previous work was sloppy,
00:21:06but then suddenly the writing is pristine,
00:21:07that's another red flag.
00:21:10That's all I have.
00:21:11Uh, I'd like to ask a few questions.
00:21:13Uh, just a moment.
00:21:17I'm the one that's supposed to be asking the question.
00:21:19I want to do it myself.
00:21:20That's not how this is supposed to work.
00:21:22I don't care.
00:21:23Just stop me if I start doing something stupid, okay?
00:21:25I'm trying to.
00:21:31So, are you saying that
00:21:33any time someone's writing gets better,
00:21:34that means they're cheating?
00:21:36No, of course not.
00:21:38Students can improve, right?
00:21:39I mean, isn't that the whole point here?
00:21:41Certain types of students do improve, yes.
00:21:45Okay.
00:21:45Um, what types are those?
00:21:48They tend to ask a lot of questions during class,
00:21:51email me about assignments,
00:21:53come to office hours.
00:21:54The type to hire a writing coach?
00:21:57Yes, of course.
00:21:58In fact, I have some experience in that area.
00:22:00You've been a writing coach.
00:22:03I am now, yes.
00:22:04But not for my students, of course.
00:22:06But you did help students write their essays?
00:22:09Not exactly, no.
00:22:11I wouldn't say that.
00:22:13Do you think that you are kind of helping students cheat?
00:22:17Of course not.
00:22:18I would never do that.
00:22:19But they are paying you to help make their essays better, right?
00:22:22No, that's not...
00:22:24I mean, yes, I will give them notes,
00:22:26but that doesn't mean I'm their ghost writer
00:22:29or anything like that.
00:22:30I would charge them way, way more if that were the case.
00:22:36Which it never will be,
00:22:37because I would never do that sort of thing.
00:22:41No matter how much they paid me.
00:22:43Miss Chen, is there a point to this line of inquiry?
00:22:47Oh, I just wanted to show that getting writing help
00:22:49isn't the same as cheating.
00:22:52So established.
00:22:53Anything else?
00:22:54Yes.
00:22:56I'd like to call my first witness.
00:22:58My name is Mark Lin,
00:23:00and I was a prose writing coach.
00:23:03What kinds of things did you teach me?
00:23:06Essay structure, thesis statement,
00:23:08crafting supporting paragraphs,
00:23:10citation,
00:23:12the essentials, basically.
00:23:15Are you an Academiat?
00:23:34I'm a former grad student.
00:23:36Yeah.
00:23:37Uh, Poli-Sci.
00:23:40What were you working on?
00:23:41Uh, my thesis was titled
00:23:44You Sunk My Battleship,
00:23:45A Game Theoretical Approach to Right-of-War Protocols
00:23:47Between American Pleasurecraft and Maritime Piracy.
00:23:51I never finished it.
00:23:54Not everyone finishes.
00:23:56How long did you tutor April for?
00:23:59A few months.
00:24:01That doesn't seem like nearly enough time
00:24:03to teach the craft of essay writing, does it?
00:24:06Do you think you significantly improved her writing skills?
00:24:09I don't know what you mean significantly.
00:24:14I mean that her writing skills changed significantly for the better.
00:24:18Have you seen her past work?
00:24:20No, I haven't.
00:24:21Well, I have.
00:24:22Her previous two essays were B-minus at best,
00:24:24and that's even with the help of her plagiarizing them as well.
00:24:27Abjection!
00:24:32Yep, okay.
00:24:34What I'm trying to say is that
00:24:38you don't know if you helped her in the slightest, do you?
00:24:43I mean, sure I helped her.
00:24:44I mean, I taught her all the essay structures and everything.
00:24:48In fact,
00:24:49you don't know if you taught her anything at all,
00:24:53do you?
00:24:54Have you ever written an essay for money?
00:25:03What?
00:25:04Are you now or have you ever been a writer for hire?
00:25:08No!
00:25:09Tutoring's not enough money to live off of.
00:25:11What else are you doing?
00:25:12Nothing.
00:25:13Just this.
00:25:14Where is this going?
00:25:15You couldn't get a job
00:25:16as a grad school dropout,
00:25:18and you needed money, right?
00:25:19And then when April hired you to be her tutor,
00:25:21you saw that she was struggling,
00:25:22and you offered to write her entire essay for her,
00:25:24didn't you?
00:25:25Didn't you?
00:25:25I write erotic fan fiction!
00:25:35What?
00:25:35I have a site where people donate to me
00:25:41to write erotic stories about Korean pop stars,
00:25:45or, you know,
00:25:48characters from books and cartoons.
00:25:54Cartoons?
00:25:57What is the name of your site?
00:26:05I think we've seen enough.
00:26:24Mr. Ward?
00:26:27Nothing further?
00:26:35Break?
00:26:40Sure.
00:26:41Yes, please.
00:26:42I think I need to go bleach my brain.
00:26:53Josh, buddy!
00:26:54You gotta stop calling me in there.
00:26:56I tried texting.
00:26:57Yeah, I know.
00:26:58I'm a little busy.
00:26:59Yeah, about that.
00:27:00You gotta take the phone out of your pocket
00:27:01and put it on the table.
00:27:02I can't hear shit right now.
00:27:04No, no, no, no way.
00:27:04That's gonna look way too suspicious.
00:27:06Don't be so paranoid.
00:27:07No one's gonna know that I'm listening.
00:27:09All right, fine, whatever.
00:27:10Just stop texting me.
00:27:12Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:12I really need to know
00:27:13who the dean's office sent over.
00:27:18Or I could just write the story
00:27:19about how you feel
00:27:20there are too many Asians
00:27:21in the CS department.
00:27:22Look, all I said was
00:27:23we don't have a shortage of Asians
00:27:26in the department.
00:27:28And how do you think
00:27:28that's gonna play
00:27:29with your Asian colleagues?
00:27:31Of which there are many, apparently.
00:27:33Debra Lewis.
00:27:35Her name's Debra Lewis.
00:27:38Hello?
00:27:39Keep the phone on the table.
00:27:43Hey.
00:27:44Hey.
00:27:46If I could just get by.
00:27:49Oh, yeah, sorry.
00:27:50All right.
00:27:51Hey, uh,
00:27:53I wanted to say thanks
00:27:54for sticking up for us back there.
00:27:56What?
00:27:57Oh, oh, yeah.
00:27:58Look, you guys should be able
00:27:59to have your own witnesses.
00:28:00It's like a no-brainer.
00:28:01It's always been like this.
00:28:04Like what?
00:28:06Like you guys are just
00:28:06making the rules
00:28:07as you go along.
00:28:09Yeah.
00:28:12That is messed up, man.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:15Something on your mind, Richard?
00:28:32Do you remember the last time
00:28:34you spoke to me, Alan?
00:28:37Uh, ten minutes ago?
00:28:39No.
00:28:39It was the day
00:28:40you looked me in my eyes
00:28:41and you lied about
00:28:42how it wasn't you
00:28:43who sent that letter
00:28:44to the tenure committee.
00:28:45You remember that letter?
00:28:47Don't you?
00:28:48The one that recommended
00:28:49they deny me my tenure?
00:28:51Well, I guess I never got a chance
00:28:53to congratulate you.
00:28:53With no thanks to you.
00:28:55On your tenure.
00:28:58I thought we were friends.
00:29:00I am your friend, Richard.
00:29:03Now, please,
00:29:04if you'll excuse me.
00:29:05No, you're not.
00:29:07Friends don't snub friends
00:29:09and they certainly don't
00:29:10try to derail their careers.
00:29:13Are you jealous of my work, Alan?
00:29:15Is that it?
00:29:16Is that it?
00:29:21Look at you, Richard.
00:29:26You're a grown man
00:29:27holding me hostage
00:29:28in a bathroom.
00:29:31You think maybe
00:29:31there might be someone else
00:29:32in the department
00:29:33who thinks you're
00:29:33a little unfit
00:29:34for tenure?
00:29:37It wasn't me.
00:29:40Now, excuse me.
00:29:49Richard.
00:29:49For your own sake,
00:29:52let it go.
00:29:52Let it go.
00:30:19Goodness, he looks worse
00:30:22for wear.
00:30:23What?
00:30:25You'd think he was
00:30:26the one on trial.
00:30:29I think I figured out
00:30:31what his crime is.
00:30:33The fashion police arrested him
00:30:35for looking like
00:30:36a total cliche.
00:30:43My name is Kelly Nakashima
00:30:45and I've been April's
00:30:46roommate for two years.
00:30:47Did you see me
00:30:48working on this essay?
00:30:49Yeah, for sure.
00:30:50You were stressed out
00:30:51for like half the semester.
00:30:53Okay.
00:31:02Did you see any
00:31:03history books
00:31:04next to April?
00:31:05I don't know.
00:31:06Probably.
00:31:08Did she talk to you
00:31:09at all about her essay?
00:31:11No.
00:31:13Did you proofread
00:31:14any of her paper
00:31:14off her computer screen?
00:31:17No.
00:31:18So,
00:31:19you don't know
00:31:20that she was working
00:31:20on my assignment.
00:31:21She could have been
00:31:22stressed about
00:31:23anything.
00:31:25I guess so.
00:31:26She complained a lot
00:31:27about her history class
00:31:27so I just
00:31:28figured that's what
00:31:29was stressing her out.
00:31:31What did she complain about?
00:31:32She said her T.A.
00:31:33was a dick.
00:31:37You may go.
00:31:39Wait!
00:31:39You said April
00:31:43never discussed
00:31:44her essay with you.
00:31:46That's right.
00:31:47So you have no idea
00:31:48what it's about?
00:31:50No idea.
00:31:53Your last name is
00:31:54Nakashima.
00:31:57That's Japanese,
00:31:59right?
00:32:00My dad's Japanese.
00:32:01My mom's from the prairies.
00:32:03If your friend
00:32:03was writing a paper
00:32:04about your heritage,
00:32:05wouldn't she tell you
00:32:05about it?
00:32:06I was born in Saskatchewan.
00:32:08Ms. Nakashima,
00:32:09why did Japan
00:32:09surrender World War II?
00:32:11What?
00:32:12The unconditional surrender.
00:32:13Why did your people
00:32:13give in?
00:32:15Come on, think.
00:32:16Mr. War.
00:32:17Why?
00:32:17Why did they surrender?
00:32:19Because they got
00:32:19bombed?
00:32:20I mean, right?
00:32:23According to April's paper,
00:32:24the real reason
00:32:25that Japan surrendered
00:32:26World War II
00:32:27was because of
00:32:27the neutrality pact
00:32:28with the Soviets,
00:32:29not because of the bomb.
00:32:31So what?
00:32:32Well, if April
00:32:33wrote this,
00:32:34then why wouldn't
00:32:34she educate
00:32:35her Japanese friend
00:32:36on this bold new
00:32:38interpretation
00:32:38of her people's history?
00:32:40Because she didn't
00:32:41write this.
00:32:42No, it's because
00:32:43it doesn't affect
00:32:44her life in any way.
00:32:46Does it?
00:32:48I'm in accounting.
00:32:52You may go.
00:32:55You need a fucking therapist.
00:32:57My name is Tim Mistry,
00:33:05and I've taught you
00:33:07in the computer science
00:33:07department
00:33:08your entire undergrad.
00:33:10How would you describe me
00:33:11as a student?
00:33:12You've been offered
00:33:13a position in Silicon Valley.
00:33:15I think that speaks
00:33:16for itself.
00:33:18April created
00:33:19a pretty revolutionary
00:33:21publishing platform
00:33:22that optimizes insets.
00:33:24Sorry, can we move on?
00:33:26She's allowed to be good
00:33:26computers.
00:33:27I'm not contesting that.
00:33:30Have you ever
00:33:31suspected me of cheating?
00:33:32No.
00:33:33Your work's
00:33:33too original for that.
00:33:37Are you comparing
00:33:39writing code
00:33:40to real writing?
00:33:41Absolutely.
00:33:43Coding,
00:33:43like any language,
00:33:44can be composed
00:33:45with elegance,
00:33:46efficiency,
00:33:47and style.
00:33:48Do you think
00:33:48coding skills can
00:33:49translate over
00:33:50to essay writing skills?
00:33:51I believe they can.
00:33:53Great.
00:33:54Has April's coding
00:34:01always been good?
00:34:02Yes.
00:34:03Since her very first
00:34:04assignment for you?
00:34:06As I recall, yes.
00:34:07So if coding skills
00:34:08translate to writing skills,
00:34:10the quality of her writing
00:34:12should be just as consistent
00:34:13as the quality of her coding.
00:34:14Is that right?
00:34:16I guess you could say that.
00:34:17Well, that's strange
00:34:18because the quality
00:34:20of her writing
00:34:21only got better
00:34:23in the last semester.
00:34:24How do you explain that?
00:34:27Perhaps she only started
00:34:28trying in your classes
00:34:30recently.
00:34:30And why wouldn't she
00:34:31try in my classes?
00:34:33I can't speak
00:34:34for my students.
00:34:35Well, maybe you should
00:34:35try harder.
00:34:36Excuse me?
00:34:37Mr. Ward,
00:34:38watch your tone.
00:34:40Are you aware
00:34:41that your students
00:34:42need to take credits
00:34:44outside of the
00:34:45computer sciences department
00:34:46in order to graduate?
00:34:47And that those classes
00:34:49are generally
00:34:49in the humanities?
00:34:51Of course.
00:34:52The university mandates
00:34:53a well-rounded education.
00:34:56Do you think
00:34:56that students
00:34:57like her
00:34:58resent
00:34:59having to take
00:35:00those classes
00:35:00because they feel
00:35:01that they are useless?
00:35:03Again,
00:35:04I don't speak
00:35:05for my students.
00:35:06Sure.
00:35:07Sure.
00:35:09Professor,
00:35:11do you think
00:35:13that a liberal arts
00:35:13education is useless?
00:35:15The liberal arts
00:35:16don't provide
00:35:17much value
00:35:18to the world.
00:35:19Certainly not
00:35:20compared to what we do.
00:35:22Professor,
00:35:23sorry to interrupt.
00:35:25Have you worked
00:35:26in Silicon Valley?
00:35:27Yes, I have.
00:35:28Are you familiar
00:35:29with the tech culture there?
00:35:30Very much so.
00:35:31I wasn't done
00:35:31questioning the witness.
00:35:32Do you think
00:35:33April would get hired
00:35:34even if she didn't
00:35:35have a university degree?
00:35:37What?
00:35:39Of course she would.
00:35:41April will get a job
00:35:42no matter what.
00:35:47Without a degree?
00:35:48Silicon Valley
00:35:49is run by dropouts.
00:35:51At the end of the day,
00:35:52the credentials
00:35:52the student earns here,
00:35:54no substitute
00:35:55for raw talent.
00:35:56professor.
00:35:57One more question.
00:35:59Why would a computer
00:36:01science student
00:36:02bother cheating
00:36:02on a meaningless
00:36:03history assignment
00:36:04when she already
00:36:05has a job
00:36:06waiting for her?
00:36:07She wouldn't.
00:36:10Thank you,
00:36:12professor.
00:36:18Irene, hello.
00:36:19Deborah, my office
00:36:21just received
00:36:22an email
00:36:23from a reporter
00:36:24at the DuPont Gazette.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:27Okay.
00:36:28He asked for a comment
00:36:29on an ongoing
00:36:30academic tribunal
00:36:32racially targeting
00:36:34students of Asian descent.
00:36:37What?
00:36:37Plus, they asked
00:36:39for you by name
00:36:39and your name
00:36:40is not on the site yet.
00:36:44I think somebody
00:36:45in that room
00:36:45is talking to the press.
00:36:47Your tribunal,
00:36:50is it in fact
00:36:51an Asian student?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:54If this story
00:36:55comes out
00:36:56and looks
00:36:58even a little
00:37:00racially motivated,
00:37:01I can't fathom
00:37:03the consequences.
00:37:05Should I postpone?
00:37:06No, no.
00:37:07That'll look like
00:37:08we're stalling.
00:37:09Just get the job done
00:37:10and be careful in there.
00:37:11People are listening.
00:37:17You know,
00:37:20your job's not
00:37:20going to save you.
00:37:21Just because you
00:37:22don't need to pass my class,
00:37:23that doesn't make you innocent.
00:37:25You know,
00:37:26there's been something
00:37:27I've been wondering all day.
00:37:29What exactly
00:37:30are you getting
00:37:31out of all this?
00:37:32I'm upholding
00:37:33the integrity
00:37:33of this school.
00:37:34What are you
00:37:35getting out of this?
00:37:36I want to clear my name.
00:37:38I'm not going to let you
00:37:38call me a cheater
00:37:39in front of everyone
00:37:41and get away with it.
00:37:43You still care
00:37:44what people think?
00:37:45you're just
00:37:47what do you guys
00:37:48call it?
00:37:48Saving face?
00:37:50That's pathetic.
00:38:01Hi, Mom.
00:38:03小春宝贝,
00:38:04想告诉你,
00:38:05你的外公、外婆、

00:40:21呢
00:40:22我不是
00:40:24你会
00:40:24我会不会
00:40:25你做什么
00:40:26it's come to light that certain details about today's hearing have made their way out of the
00:40:39room therefore I'm going to need everyone to hand over their phones
00:40:45Mr. Berthier
00:40:48would you please collect everyone's phones
00:40:54can you tell us your name and scholarly background
00:41:10my name is Alicia Sinclair I've completed a PhD in political science and my dissertation is entitled
00:41:17all quiet on the best western front hotel economies black markets and jihadist financing
00:41:24in a global world and what is your current line of work I'm an essay writer you mean that you write
00:41:33original essays that students pass off as their own yes can you walk us through your process
00:41:40sure before I start I ask my clients for copies of their old essays for reference so that I can
00:41:46match the writing quality of their previous work to prevent arousing suspicion and do you take any
00:41:51other precautions specifically concerning the digital files yeah well as you know digital
00:42:00files are required to be submitted so that they can be run through the school's plagiarism detection
00:42:04software but what people don't know is that each digital file carries with it an invisible signature
00:42:11of the author and its metadata so to make sure my clients don't get caught I wipe that metadata
00:42:16before I hand the files over and if you didn't erase the metadata then it would show the name of the
00:42:24true author of the essay here is the metadata for the three essays April has submitted to me as you can
00:42:36see her name appears on the first two but with the third essay the one we are discussing here today
00:42:42the metadata appears blank as if someone's erased it I recently scrubbed my personal information from
00:42:53my computer for privacy reasons I think the files speak for themselves
00:43:02okay then I'm gonna go why do you do this
00:43:20pardon me why do you help students cheat do you just need the money no I don't need the money
00:43:31I help students cheat because you cheat them we're both showing overpriced pieces of paper to kids too
00:43:41dumb to know any better yours just happens to say diploma at the top
00:43:46okay
00:43:47I'd like to question professor thornton what no I didn't mark the damn thing unfortunately I don't
00:44:07I don't have the authority to force Professor Thornton to be questioned,
00:44:10just like I can't force you to be questioned either, Ms. Chen.
00:44:13Oh, I don't mind.
00:44:14Whoa, no. Wait, I can't let that happen.
00:44:17I bet you'd like to ask me some questions, wouldn't you?
00:44:19You really testify?
00:44:21Absolutely not.
00:44:22I have nothing to hide.
00:44:23I need a moment with my client.
00:44:25Go.
00:44:31Water?
00:44:33Please.
00:44:37I am not letting you do this.
00:44:43You're the accused.
00:44:45You're not supposed to be testifying.
00:44:47Do you think anyone in there cares about how things are supposed to go?
00:44:51I can handle myself.
00:44:52He's not as smart as he thinks he is.
00:44:54Neither are you.
00:44:55No.
00:44:56No way.
00:44:57If you go up there, I will leave in protest.
00:45:00Is that what you want?
00:45:02No.
00:45:02I don't want you to leave in protest.
00:45:04Okay, then.
00:45:05You should leave because you're fired.
00:45:08You can't fire me.
00:45:10What are you going to do?
00:45:12Represent me against my will?
00:45:14Is that how things are supposed to work?
00:45:18Go home.
00:45:27Keith, I need you to trust me on this, okay?
00:45:30I will not be questioned by that girl.
00:45:32Sir, with all due respect, I don't understand why you won't just testify.
00:45:35Because the key...
00:45:36Look, something happened and then she came to my office.
00:45:47What happened?
00:45:48I've never seen that other essay before.
00:46:09Where's your family from, April?
00:46:18They're from Harbin.
00:46:20Harbin?
00:46:20Huh.
00:46:21You ever been to the Ice Festival?
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:25As a kid.
00:46:26I went there a few years back.
00:46:27It was breathtaking.
00:46:29Look, why don't I make you a deal?
00:46:35How about to make up for this?
00:46:37You come and take one of my summer courses and you'll get the same credit.
00:46:41Classes are much more relaxed.
00:46:42It's basically just hanging out.
00:46:44I'm actually planning to go visit my family this summer, so...
00:46:52Do you have any photos from Harbin?
00:46:55Sure.
00:46:56Um...
00:46:57Yeah.
00:46:58This is Jalen Park.
00:46:59Pretty windy that day.
00:47:00Uh-huh.
00:47:01The kid just ran up and photobombed me.
00:47:03Oh, you'll have to give me advice on where to go.
00:47:05Absolutely.
00:47:17Here.
00:47:18I'm gonna text myself, so you have my number.
00:47:20Sure.
00:47:21Thanks.
00:47:24Now, um, getting back to the matter at hand here...
00:47:35When you look at these, do you see why I had to bring you in here?
00:47:39Yeah, I think I do.
00:47:41I mean, it seems innocent enough.
00:47:43You know, with these kinds of mistakes,
00:47:45sometimes you're not even aware that what you're doing is wrong
00:47:47even as you're doing it, you know what I mean?
00:47:49Mm-hmm.
00:47:52That's me.
00:48:03Why would you write this?
00:48:05Okay, I think I can see a way to mark this as is
00:48:20and not take this situation any further.
00:48:24After all, this is just a one-off, right?
00:48:27Won't happen again.
00:48:29Good.
00:48:31I'll let me understand each other.
00:48:32Okay, wait, it's your wedding is her, so they can't...
00:48:39Listen, if she shows that text to anyone, there's going to be an inquiry.
00:48:42It'll be just like that witch hunt down in Concordia, and I will not be crucified.
00:48:45No, it won't be, because there were multiple women in Concordia.
00:48:47How many others?
00:48:54I don't grow up.
00:48:56They were all adults.
00:48:57They know what they were doing, okay?
00:48:59What you said?
00:48:59Please tell me that they weren't all Asian.
00:49:01You're going to be buried for this.
00:49:09I'm going to bury you, too.
00:49:11I'm sorry, Keith.
00:49:16You're sorry?
00:49:19I won't be able to get another supervisor after this.
00:49:22I won't be able to finish my thesis,
00:49:24which means that my entire time here was worthless.
00:49:27Look, drop the case,
00:49:30and you don't have to worry about it.
00:49:32Drop the case.
00:49:33No.
00:49:42If we cover this up, that makes us just as bad as her.
00:49:45I'm not like her.
00:49:47And I'm not like you.
00:49:54I'll be fired.
00:49:56You're finished either way.
00:49:58I'm removing you as my supervisor,
00:50:00and I'm going to the department myself
00:50:02to tell them about your indiscretions.
00:50:04Why would you do that?
00:50:05Because you don't deserve what you have.
00:50:10I'll give you a chance to retire on Monday.
00:50:13But if you don't quit by then,
00:50:14I'll have no choice but to report you.
00:50:16You're destroying your life.
00:50:19No, Alan.
00:50:20You already did that.
00:50:23Keith.
00:50:24Keith, wait.
00:50:25Wait.
00:50:32Alan.
00:50:35What?
00:50:36I, uh...
00:50:37You know what?
00:50:41I'm done with this place.
00:50:42You win, Richard.
00:50:44You feel good about yourself?
00:50:46I can't say I feel much of anything right now.
00:50:50I...
00:50:51I want to say that I forgive you
00:50:56for what you did to me.
00:50:59You forgive me?
00:51:03Well, that's big of you.
00:51:06But you know what, Richard?
00:51:10I don't want your forgiveness,
00:51:12you fucking pompous prick.
00:51:13Do you know why I sent that letter?
00:51:19Hmm?
00:51:20Because you're an embarrassment to our field.
00:51:23And you do not deserve to be called my peer!
00:51:29Alan.
00:51:32Take care of yourself.
00:51:33Take care of yourself.
00:51:43Hello?
00:51:49Hello, Ms. Lewis.
00:51:51My name is Peter Hansen.
00:51:53I'm the VP and Provost of DuPont.
00:51:56One moment, please.
00:52:11Hi, sorry about that.
00:52:12I'm in the middle of a tribunal.
00:52:15Have you spoken with Irene?
00:52:16Actually, Ms. MacDonald has been placed on leave.
00:52:20You'll be liaising with me from now on.
00:52:23We're working on trying to get ahead of this story.
00:52:27And if we need your assistance...
00:52:30Am I going to be fired?
00:52:32If you can ensure that the final verdict
00:52:35won't be, uh, problematic...
00:52:38That would be helpful to both the university
00:52:41and to yourself.
00:52:45Do you understand?
00:52:51Hey!
00:52:53What, man?
00:52:54What are you leaving?
00:52:55What's going on?
00:52:56She fired me.
00:52:59Fuck.
00:53:01Can she even do that, or...?
00:53:02She's out of control,
00:53:03and I can't protect her from herself anymore.
00:53:05You need to look out for her in there.
00:53:09Me?
00:53:10Yeah.
00:53:11What am I supposed to do?
00:53:12It's not that complicated.
00:53:16It's not that complicated.
00:53:16Where's Mr. Shaw?
00:53:37He's gone.
00:53:38Gone?
00:53:39And where's Professor Thornton?
00:53:42He won't be joining us,
00:53:43but...
00:53:45I'm willing to testify in his place
00:53:47if April's still willing to honor our deal.
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:56Okay.
00:53:58You know what?
00:54:00Okay.
00:54:01Fine.
00:54:02Let's finish this.
00:54:14So...
00:54:15Keith Ward.
00:54:16Poli-sci PhD student.
00:54:18Working title of my thesis
00:54:19is Chasing Anarchy,
00:54:20Understanding Subaltern Praxiography
00:54:22in the Spanish Civil War.
00:54:24Keith.
00:54:25How many students
00:54:26have you taken to an academic tribunal?
00:54:28You're the first.
00:54:29So you've never suspected
00:54:31anyone else of cheating before?
00:54:33Well, I have,
00:54:34but they all confessed
00:54:35when I confronted them.
00:54:36Were they punished?
00:54:37Of course.
00:54:39Rewrites, grade reductions...
00:54:40Did you fail them?
00:54:43No.
00:54:44Deny them their degree?
00:54:47No.
00:54:48Yet you are trying to do
00:54:49both those things to me.
00:54:51Why?
00:54:53Because I've never met
00:54:54a student as deceitful as you.
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:57You must not like me very much.
00:55:01I like all my students,
00:55:03as long as they're honest.
00:55:04Is there something about me,
00:55:06specifically,
00:55:08that makes you think
00:55:09I'm not an honest person?
00:55:13Yes.
00:55:15What?
00:55:19It was your lack of remorse.
00:55:22What do you mean?
00:55:23When you were first caught
00:55:27for cheating,
00:55:28I let you off,
00:55:30and you just
00:55:30took it and left.
00:55:34You weren't even sorry
00:55:34for what you did,
00:55:35and I knew you'd try
00:55:37and cheat again.
00:55:38You have no respect,
00:55:39no gratitude.
00:55:44So that's why you dragged
00:55:45all of us here today.
00:55:46Well,
00:55:50Mr. Ward,
00:55:54let me just take
00:55:55this opportunity
00:55:56to say that
00:55:57I'm so sorry
00:55:59that two years ago
00:56:01I forgot to say
00:56:03I'm so sorry.
00:56:10Are you finished?
00:56:11Do you resent
00:56:21being forced
00:56:22to take my classes?
00:56:24Well,
00:56:25I don't think
00:56:25I should have to pay for them.
00:56:27Why not?
00:56:29Because I didn't come here
00:56:30to learn how to write papers
00:56:32no one will ever read.
00:56:34Then why did you come here?
00:56:36To build stuff.
00:56:38That's what people like me do.
00:56:40We go out and build the world
00:56:41while people like you
00:56:42just sit around
00:56:43and discuss it.
00:56:45Do you hate me, April?
00:56:49You're not interesting
00:56:50enough to hate.
00:56:52Hmm.
00:56:54Now,
00:56:55you don't need
00:56:57a degree
00:56:59in order to be employed
00:57:00in your field.
00:57:01Is that correct?
00:57:02That's what I'm told.
00:57:05I guess that begs
00:57:06the question,
00:57:07why even bother
00:57:08cheating in the first place?
00:57:10But,
00:57:12what if even though
00:57:14you don't need
00:57:15a degree,
00:57:17you desperately
00:57:18do need to graduate?
00:57:22Do you have any guests
00:57:31attending the graduation ceremony?
00:57:34Anyone flying in?
00:57:35some family.
00:57:37Some family?
00:57:42Some family.
00:57:45See, I called
00:57:46the head of the grad committee
00:57:47and they said
00:57:48you have 12 seats
00:57:51reserved for your family.
00:57:53Thank you very much.
00:57:5512.
00:57:56and they've come from
00:57:59quite a ways away,
00:58:00haven't they?
00:58:02How embarrassing
00:58:03would it be
00:58:05for you to have to
00:58:06explain to them
00:58:07that they flew
00:58:07all the way here
00:58:09for nothing?
00:58:10admit it.
00:58:14You're only here
00:58:15covering up for your cheating
00:58:16because you can't bear
00:58:18to face your family
00:58:19and tell them
00:58:20that you won't be part
00:58:21of that ceremony.
00:58:22how hard
00:58:24have they worked
00:58:26to send you here?
00:58:27What if they
00:58:27sacrificed for you,
00:58:29huh, April?
00:58:30What would they say
00:58:31if they knew
00:58:32that their daughter
00:58:33was a lying
00:58:34chief?
00:58:35I am not!
00:58:36Because the truth is
00:58:37that you don't respect me
00:58:38or my classes
00:58:40and you loathe the fact
00:58:41that someone like me
00:58:42would come in here
00:58:42and shame you
00:58:43in front of your entire family.
00:58:45Isn't that right, April?
00:58:45Yes!
00:58:47Yes!
00:58:48I hate your classes
00:58:49and I hate you
00:58:50and this entire
00:58:51fucking school
00:58:52which is why I...
00:58:54Cheated.
00:58:54So you played your
00:58:55as the essay.
00:58:55Say it, April.
00:58:56You're...
00:58:56Ah!
00:59:15You're wrong.
00:59:34I'm not a cheater.
00:59:40Please give us the room.
00:59:45Okay.
00:59:54So.
00:59:56How do you think
00:59:57we should proceed?
00:59:59Professor Gould?
01:00:00I could care less
01:00:01how we proceed.
01:00:04Ms. Lewis?
01:00:07What do you think?
01:00:09What do I think?
01:00:11We're fucked
01:00:11is what I think.
01:00:12There's a story
01:00:16coming out
01:00:17about today.
01:00:19About this.
01:00:20What?
01:00:22How do you know that?
01:00:24Because my fucking boss
01:00:25just got fired.
01:00:26That's how I know
01:00:27and guess who's next?
01:00:29I can't believe
01:00:30she would do this
01:00:32to us.
01:00:34But you think
01:00:34April leaked the story?
01:00:36Who else would it be?
01:00:39Oh.
01:00:42If she's trying
01:00:46to manipulate us
01:00:47she needs to be
01:00:47held accountable.
01:00:48It's too late.
01:00:50The story's already out.
01:00:52We have to let her go.
01:00:54And what if we fail her?
01:00:55Then we'll end up
01:00:56looking as prejudiced
01:00:58as the American schools.
01:01:00The university
01:01:00will be publicly shamed
01:01:02and I'll be fired.
01:01:03Deborah,
01:01:03this is nothing
01:01:04short of extortion.
01:01:07She is deliberately
01:01:08preventing us
01:01:08from fulfilling our duty
01:01:09as arbiter.
01:01:10Richard.
01:01:11Let's be honest.
01:01:13Our duty today
01:01:14was nothing more
01:01:15than offering
01:01:16customer support.
01:01:19There's only one thing
01:01:20to do.
01:01:22So should I bring them in?
01:01:24No.
01:01:26I'm not just gonna
01:01:27let this happen.
01:01:27Nothing you do
01:01:28will make a difference.
01:01:29I don't care.
01:01:30I will not be cornered
01:01:31like this
01:01:31and I'm gonna tell her that.
01:01:33Screw the university.
01:01:34Stop.
01:01:36Stop.
01:01:40It was me.
01:01:41Excuse me?
01:01:46I'm the one
01:01:47leaking the hearing.
01:01:48You?
01:01:49Yeah.
01:01:52I'm sorry.
01:01:55Did you say
01:01:56leaking?
01:01:58Does that mean
01:01:59that someone
01:01:59is listening right now?
01:02:01it wasn't supposed
01:02:02to get this far
01:02:03and nobody
01:02:04was supposed
01:02:05to get fired.
01:02:08I screwed
01:02:09this whole thing up.
01:02:14You...
01:02:14whoa.
01:02:15Hey!
01:02:16Hey!
01:02:27You know,
01:02:28I get why you did this.
01:02:31I mean,
01:02:31I get why you had
01:02:32to do this.
01:02:33Family's important.
01:02:34You don't know
01:02:38anything about my family.
01:02:39I know they came here
01:02:40to celebrate you.
01:02:42Or,
01:02:43more importantly,
01:02:44all of your successes.
01:02:48That's what this is
01:02:49all about, right?
01:02:51I mean,
01:02:52if it wasn't for
01:02:53all of your accomplishments,
01:02:54what would you even
01:02:56be to your parents?
01:02:58Do you think
01:02:59that they'd probably
01:02:59just disown you
01:03:00at that point?
01:03:00Boy,
01:03:03that must be hard.
01:03:05All your whole life,
01:03:07knowing that
01:03:08your family's love
01:03:09is ultimately just...
01:03:10conditional.
01:03:19What do you think
01:03:19is gonna happen to you
01:03:20when this is all over?
01:03:25What are you
01:03:26supposed to do
01:03:26with yourself now?
01:03:27Do you have a life?
01:03:33Huh?
01:03:35I mean,
01:03:36who even are you
01:03:37without this place?
01:03:40You want to know
01:03:41what I think?
01:03:42I think
01:03:43you're just
01:03:45gonna
01:03:45disappear.
01:03:49Because if there's
01:03:50one thing I know
01:03:51about you,
01:03:52it's this.
01:03:54There's...
01:03:54Shut up!
01:03:54That's who you
01:04:08really are.
01:04:09After careful consideration
01:04:38of the evidence
01:04:39brought forth
01:04:40by both parties
01:04:41concerning April Chen's
01:04:42final International History
01:04:44300 essay,
01:04:47this academic tribunal
01:04:48has unanimously found
01:04:50that there was no
01:04:51sufficient evidence
01:04:52to suggest
01:04:52that an academic
01:04:53offense has been
01:04:54committed by the student,
01:04:56April Chen.
01:04:59Therefore,
01:05:00the grade given
01:05:01on the essay
01:05:01will stand,
01:05:03and she will be awarded
01:05:04her degree
01:05:05in computer science.
01:05:06on behalf of

01:06:47So, what's up?
01:06:49I need a favor.
01:06:51Again?
01:06:52I need you to write a story about DuPont's plagiarism tribunals targeting Asian students.
01:06:57You got caught, didn't you?
01:06:59You can start by finding the comps I rep. His name's Josh Berthier.
01:07:02Yeah, I know Josh. What do I get out of this?
01:07:06You know I built a platform that was bought by Snakeskin Media Group, right?
01:07:09Does this mean you can get me an interview at one of their sites?
01:07:12I can get you a full-time writing position in their New York bureau.
