Abstract
Participants read about a hypothetical male or female student who plagiarized an assignment, characterized as extra credit or regular, as well as the outcome of a hearing board appeal (plagiarism upheld or reduced). Results indicate that outcome predominantly affected how participants perceived future cheating, hearing board fairness and school quality.
