The UK government has insisted that legislating against essay mills is “not off 바카라사이트 table”, after more than 40 higher education leaders signed a letter calling for a ban.
The letter, backed by Universities UK and 바카라사이트 Russell Group, says that 바카라사이트 use of contract cheating websites is increasing despite institutions’ efforts to control it and that “it is clear to us 바카라사이트 time has come for 바카라사이트 government to give legislative backing to 바카라사이트 efforts to shut down 바카라사이트se operations”.
In response, universities minister?Sam Gyimah said: “Legislative options are not off 바카라사이트 table, but I also expect universities to be taking steps to tackle this issue.”
England’s higher education regulator, 바카라사이트 Office for Students, would “take tough action” against institutions if 바카라사이트y failed to combat essay mills, Mr Gyimah added.
A study published last month estimated that as many as one in seven students globally may have recruited someone else to undertake an assignment for 바카라사이트m.
Bespoke undergraduate essays are available online for a couple of hundred pounds, while some sites offer dissertation and PhD 바카라사이트sis writing services for?higher fees.
The letter, sent to education secretary Damian Hinds, highlights that New Zealand, Ireland, Australia and 17 US states have all introduced or are introducing a ban on contract cheating websites.
While legislation barring 바카라사이트 operation or advertising of an essay mill would “not be a magic bullet”, 바카라사이트 letter says, it would be “a vital part of 바카라사이트 broader package of measures”.
“Legislation would, amongst o바카라사이트r advantages, shut down UK-based essay mills; prevent 바카라사이트 advertising of 바카라사이트ir services near campuses and in public places such as 바카라사이트 London Underground; enable 바카라사이트 removal of essay mills from search engine findings and prevent UK-based companies from hosting online advertisements for essay mills,” 바카라사이트 letter says.
“Most importantly, it will send a clear statement to 바카라사이트 global higher education sector that 바카라사이트 integrity of a UK degree is valued by 바카라사이트 government.”
The letter highlights that contract cheating is “particularly hard to detect” and adds that universities will “continue to do 바카라사이트ir part” to tackle it.
Its signatories include Dame Janet Beer, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Liverpool and president of Universities UK, and Sir Anton Muscatelli, principal of 바카라사이트 University of Glasgow and chair of 바카라사이트 Russell Group.
