I had a student in (arguing about a grade, sigh), who then dropped the question:
"So....who was it in our class that plagiarized?"
Seriously, dude? You're asking me that? Have you not heard of FERPA - and even without FERPA, in which bearded-Spock universe would it be OK for me to share that information?
The fact that he dropped it oh-so-casually, I think with the thought of catching me off guard, irritates me a little.
(I did say: "Sorry. Not allowed to tell you that." I mean, shouldn't the fact that it's NOT HIM be good enough?)

Huh. Well, all I can say is that people do end up finding things out even if the profs and TAs keep mum cause somebody won't be able to keep their mouth shut.
I think I would have been tempted to ask him why he wanted to know.
