There's a specific form and format that all college theses must adhere to, and this guy didn't do it.

He cited the source materials in his footnotes, he just didn't use quotation marks within the text itself. After they review his revised thesis, maybe they'll decide that he lifted too much from the source material (i.e. he didn't write enough original text). That remains to be seen.
