| May 20, 2017 at 21:23 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Are the copied parts central to the results of the paper, or are they mostly just background material? | |

| May 20, 2017 at 18:03 | comment | added | user3697176 | If your belief about the student is correct, a fourth scenario is possible: The student does not care about the publication any more, but the supervisor thinks it is important enough to get published. At some point the student may even want to retract their name, just so s/he is not bothered further. | |
