Wal-Mart Heiress; Term Papers
ABC News 20/20 investigates academic cheating and plagiarism in colleges across the campus. The story also focuses on one of the most famous cases in which, Paige Laurie, the great-granddaughter of a Wal-Mart co-founder, paid her former roommate to do all of her papers and assignments while attending the University of Southern California. Reporters also look at why and how students cheat, from text messaging test answers to one another, to Internet "paper mills" which provide students with papers for a fee.
