A colleague of mine had a similar problem with a different University. He emailed with no response, so he finally phoned them. They faxed him a simple form asking for the source material, author, etc and the URL of the plagiarized content. He faxed it back and within 72 hours the content was removed.

Hi George. I don't really know what you can do in this situation. You can go the lawyer route. The DMCA applies and a notice could be sent to the university's host demanding the site be taken down. Seems a little inappropriate to me though - rather an overreaction.

The public shaming will do just fine, and hopefully as a result they'll remove the content.

I sent an email but had no response, hence the post.

This is the second example I've seen recently where Creative Commons licenses have been clearly breached. What can you do? I don't know of anyone who has used CC to actually protect their content as yet...

I hope at least you have named and shamed the department to the university!
