> As a brief introduction, I'm a student at San Jose State University,

> Algorithms", taught by Dr. Beeson, where the homework was all code, 
> submitted by a certain date to an online submission/analysis system.

> employer reference for the future

> me, since he considered it a violation of the Academic Integrity 
> standards.  I responded very politely, citing SJSU Policies and 
> Student Senate Resolutions/Statements:
