Hi I recall a behavioral study from a number of years ago (when public posting of grades did not have to be anonymous) showing that grades posted with student names actually led to better performance than grades posted without student names. Privacy is not all it is cracked up to be, nor without negative consequences.
As to the professor violating "due process," it seems to me that publishing names of people charged with plagiarism is NOT a violation of their appeal process since publication does not preclude that process. Using the criminal trial analogy (as mentioned in the article), people charged with a crime do NOT generally remain anonymous unless children are involved (at least in Canada). Take care Jim James M.
