This is just guessing but the reason is probably that the regression output (not including the specific numbers, and your variable names) is standard R output as already noted.
It probably appears in many other theses and dissertations , in books on R, and possibly in appendices in published books and papers reporting research findings. It, or parts of it, may occur thousands of times on R-help and in R oriented blogs and other documents on the Web. It quite likely shows up on Stack Overflow. Here is one example it took me about 2 minutes to find. http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~kvansteen/GBIO0009-1/ac20092010/Class8/Using%20R%20for%20linear%20regression.pdf. And here's another http://www.princeton.edu/~otorres/Regression101R.pdf. Have a look at Julian Faraway's pdf "Practical Regression and Anova using R" book in the Contributed section of the R home site at pp -23-24. There it is again. I think you probably should do a bit of on-line searching and a sweep of some of the Manuals and Contributed materials on the R site and point out to the powers that be that it is not plagiarism, it's just standard R reporting.of regression results.
