Many schools forbid reusing a paper. I'm not aware of anything in the Bible/Quran/Torah/Tipitaka/Thirteen Classics/Vedas/U.S. Constitution or any laws passed in the United States forbidding a student from reusing his or her own work. I find absolutely nothing whatsoever dishonest about this practice. If anything, it is praiseworthy for being efficient. Some academicians disagree. If it was two different schools, I would without hesitation say reuse your own work, particularly if at least one submission was paper only, no electronic copy.
If you have to submit a paper electronically, some schools submit them to a site to see if they have been previously submitted. That would be a problem if similarities were detected by a computer system.
Reusing one's own work isn't something reasonable people are going to reach a unanimous consensus on.
Another ethical issue that comes up with colleges is when you take courses at school A, then take courses at school B, and later return to school A. School A technically requires that you not only divulge your attendance at school B, but provide an official transcript from school B. Whether you made a 0.0 or 4.0 at school B, I don't think it is any of school A's business unless you choose to tell them. The academic world sees certain things differently, partly from a in loco parentis perspective.
Hey, I have an idea! Can we devote more pages to a discussion of ethics than the Duggars?
