CSU efforts to end term papers sale

A business which had been sup­plying term papers and other work for students was ordered by the Superior Court for The County of Los Angeles to stop selling such material under the terms of a preliminary injunction requested by the California State University. The action was brought to the Court by the Attorney General's office with the assistance of the CSU' s Office of General Counsel.

The business had placed leaflets throughout the CSU Los Angeles campus offering to do research, write papers and do other work for students for a fee. Services such as that are prohibited under Section 66400 of the Education Code of the State of California which prohibits the sale of term papers, theses or dissertations.

Standard policy at all CSU cam­puses is to give a failing grade to students who are caught using purchased material in classes.
