A former student at Southern Illinois University School of Law has sued the school and several administrators, claiming she was duped into accepting a plagiarism punishment that resulted in her dismissal a semester before graduating.
In a suit filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, Julie Bullock alleges that she agreed to forgo a law school hearing over the plagiarism charge—which she disputes—on the belief that the lesser punishment offered by administrators would allow her to re-enroll, which turned out not to be the case. She also claims that the law school treated her more harshly than other students accused of violating its honor code in order to make her an example to others.
