In a new investigative article on a company that writes students’ papers for cash, the Chronicle of Higher Education outed four of the company’s customers.

The article, which is behind the Chronicle‘s subscription wall, gives the name, college, and field of two undergraduates and two grad students, including a PhD candidate in public policy who, they say, outsourced the literature review section of his dissertation to the paper mill Essay Writers. The article also names that student’s blog, which was last updated in July 2008.

The Chronicle was able to identify the students through personal information they posted to the company’s private website.
