Brno university offering anti-plagiarism programme to other institutions

Masaryk University in the Czech Republic's second city Brno has offered special anti-plagiarism
software it developed to other universities in the country, according to press reports Wednesday.
In the programme's first year, academics in Brno uncovered 150,000 examples of what may have been
copying in written work submitted by students. One student has been expelled from Masaryk
University for plagiarism, while four others are being investigated. A number of other Czech
universities are considering introducing the system.
