I don’t think that the University of Alabama in Huntsville got the message. Jump to UWebD and eduStyle for additional commentary. This is definitely more than just a case of borrowed design ideas, colors, grid, etc. Brown’s stylesheet is named “master.css”. UAH’s is named “master2.css.” The HTML looks like a badly synthesized genetic clone. [...] […] Umm. I don’t think that the University of Alabama in Huntsville got the message.

I received confirmation from a reliable source that the OSU COE site was designed by a student designer who used the VT site for design inspiration.

Had you not been posting them side by side, I am not sure I would have picked up on the similarities. Of course, I am not a creative type so me missing things like would not be earth-shattering! :) I see some similarities but I think it is more of a case of inspiration than pilfering.
