Would you ever consider paying a company to write your dissertation for you? A firm offering just that has been targeting struggling students in York. Ivory Research insist the custom papers they sell should be used for reference only and that they come with a 100% plagurism-free guarantee but students could still be committing academic misconduct if they use the company's services. We hear from the company themselves and are joined LIVE in the studio by the university's Assistant Registrar for Student Progress Jen Wotherspoon to get her reaction. From the URY Newshour, Wednesdays at 6pm on URY.
