Students cash for notes a gray area - Jaime Adame, Arkansas Online

But a University of Arkansas student said she ended up getting in trouble last fall for violating the school's academic integrity policies after working as a notes-taker. UA faculty members are now debating how to best deal with the selling of lecture notes. The talks come after what one administrator described as increased calls from concerned faculty members and from students wondering if they are free to work with online study resource companies that are known for their aggressive recruiting tactics. http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2017/mar/05/students-selling-notes-online-a-legal-g/?f=news-arkansas
