Jake Jones was a student in Professor Germ's immunology class. Professor Germ's syllabus outlined course requirements and stated that "plagiarism will not be tolerated." After grading the first assignment, Professor Germ realized that many papers had sentences copied from other sources without citations. Instead of reporting everyone for plagiarism, Professor Germ said she would give students a "free pass" on one copied sentence. But Jake's paper contained many plagiarized sentences, so he received a failing grade for the assignment.

Jake sued the professor for breach of contract. He argued that the syllabus was a contract and that the "free pass" policy broke itbecause that term was not part of their original agreement. According to Jake, since the professor breached the contract, he was no longer obligated to refrain from plagiarizing, and so should not be punished. How would you rule?
