Best Answer

In some fashion, yes. Many schools have an honor code specifically condemning acts such as plagiarism, but copyright infringement--being a violation of federal law--should carry some sort of penalty as well.

That being said, many scholarly uses are addressed by provisions such as the US's fair use clause, 17USC107; many acts that would be considered infringement in the "real world" are allowable in academia.
