You can have all the policies in the world but subtle retaliation could be enough to create serious problems... Max GPA obtainable is 4.0 which I have... does not take many points taken off on subjective areas to drop me to a B+

I agree with informing the original author. After all, it's his work that is being plagiarized and it ought to be up to him to decide what, if any, action will be taken. Unfortunately, this doesn't help you in dealing with the fact that you know that this man is in a position of authority without having the level of personal ethics to justify such a position. That sucks and I'm sorry.

(As a side note, I learned the hard way to guard my original recipes after a local Bistro I did pastries for years ago copied several of my original recipes and are still, to this day, serving 3 of them as their own. I have never seen a dime or even honorable mention from these recipes nor can I seek such a thing cuz I didn't safeguard them. I wouldn't have been so upset if I'd developed these recipes FOR this bistro, but these were recipes I'd developed many years earlier. But, now I go ahead and do what I call the poor man's copyright and periodically print out a bunch of my original recipes (the one's I take the time to extract from my brain and actually scrawl down, that is) and send them to myself certified mail and when I receive them I just leave the envelope unopened and file it away. Just thought I'd pass this on to you as you're no doubt coming up with a few fabulous original creations yourself and from what you've said, plagiarism is not unheard of there.)

Best of luck!

Let the original author know what is up and then let things fall out as it may.
