By Lindsay Brewer | February 13, 2011

Laskaris declined to speculate on what actions the College would take if the Common Application were to adopt Turnitin, but said the Common Application "does a great job of surveying the member institutions before making major policy decisions." Laskaris said she would be concerned about the Common Application's adoption of Turnitin because she prefers the Admissions Office to believe "in the honesty and integrity of the students and the process." "It presumes that everybody's dishonest from the get-go," Laskaris said in an interview with The Dartmouth.
