    Have you ever worked in academia? This kind of email could definitely be real, not saying this one necessarily is though

      I have never worked in academia, but I’ve spent time around academics and have read plenty of emails in both academic and corporate contexts … this particular one looks fake, even if the circumstances of plagiarism are common - this just not seem like how a thesis adviser would address this kind of plagiarism with a grad student

      This one almost certainly isn’t because of both the jocular tone and the several other “emails to Faith” posted in this comm recently, but indeed they are drawing on the true experiences of graduate students.
