The best response I've ever heard about academic dishonesty was
from a friend teaching English.  She discovered that some of her
students had copied their papers from Cliff's Notes or some other
such publication - either verbatim or very closely paraphrased.

She announced to the class that she'd discovered the plaigerisms,
and announced her policy:  If the authors owned up to the dishonesty,
they'd receive an F on that paper.  If not, they'd fail the course.
