The Associated Press reports that a group of students at the University of Texas at San Antonio were tasked with coming up with a code of academic integrity in order to combat plagiarism. Now these students are being investigated for plagiarising their code from that of Brigham Young University.

There that is better.
Poor students copy.
Good students do it themselves.
Better students steal.
Great students don't get caught.
and
Grad students don't do anything.
How is replicating another school's law / rule / code plagiarism? That falls in the realm of fair use. Lots of governing organizations "steal" ideas from others policies, by-laws, and regulation. There is no need to cite.
Every student in every college/university has the rules about plagiarism hammered into their noggins from Day 1.
