''(At Syracuse Law School, he had plagiarized a law review article in a class paper he wrote. Although he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an F.)'' The grammar of this sentence is incorrect. After reading the source, I changed it to: ''(He has admitted that in his first year at Syracuse Law School, he plagiarized a law review article; he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an F.)''<ref>http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE3DB143FF93BA2575AC0A961948260</ref> I don't mind if anyone wants to change the content, or come up with a better way to write the section, but please use proper grammar! --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 15:41, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

==Archmere Tuition==
Why does the current tuition at Archmere, where Biden attended over 40 years ago, need to be anything more than a footnote to this article? Do we know that the tuition today is similar (given inflation) to the tuition when he attended? No, in fact one could argue that, like with most Catholic schools, the tuition today is significantly higher today because more classes are taught by lay teachers. Do we know that Biden (or his family) even paid full tuition? No, in fact many families in Wilmington attend private school with significant tuition assistance. Without knowing the facts, we don't know whether this is the story of a rich boy going to an expensive private school because his parents could well afford it, or a not-so-rich boy given an opportunity to go to an affordable private school because of financial aid. I have no idea which is the real story, or if it's something different. Until we find enough information to put Archmere's current tuition in some kind of context related to Biden's attendance, I think it needs to remain a footnote. The fact that it is a private, Catholic, college-preparatory school should say enough. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 15:58, 10 September 2008 (EDT)
