Standards are pretty important, so best to get them from somewhere else

Texas School 'Borrows' Honor Code from BYU

March 31, 2008 · Students at the University of Texas at San Antonio were determined to uphold standards at their school. They wrote an honor code that discouraged both cheating and plagiarizing. But they weren't going to waste a lot of time writing the darn thing themselves. The wording of a draft of the honor code appears to match the honor code at Brigham Young University. The student in charge of the project says the lack of a proper citation was just an oversight.

Omitting a proper citation = definition of plagiarism.

All I can say, having gone to BYU, they are lucky that the honor code has not yet been adopted.
