> Plagiarism brings a slap on the wrist unless the case is very high profile, like the example posted by azan_20 in the sibling where the plagiarising academic had many accolades and a big reputation. If the target or source of plagiarism is not famous it's like stealing bikes.

That's right. At least there's reporting in the lay press which can cause a scandal and that may finally convince Cambridge to do something, although I'm not holding my breath.
