    They are now looking at all his past written things, a thesis? a dissertation? ( whatever they are) They say he has had a long history of doing this.

    really? I am curious why you are not surprised by this? What do you base that on? Up until this his reputation was just fine.

    Some colleges and universities use the Turn It In program to check for plagiarism. He was a bad example to the students.

    Spence was setting a poor example to students! They should go back and verify everything in his resume and education records to see what other stuff he made up. According to CBC this isn't the first time he's plagiarized either.

    Instead of him resigning, they should of fired him!

    The battle against plagiarism can be won easily with the help of plagiarism check that helps detecting the plagiarized lines along with their sources, and provides an ample proof. this can be the smartest way of maintaining the media ethics.
