rental Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 ...in the us. Duke: 34 MBA students punished for cheating By Bloomberg News | May 1, 2007 Duke University's Fuqua School of Business disciplined 34 first-year master of business administration students who were caught in the school's largest cheating scandal. Fuqua investigated 38 students, marketing professor Gavan J. Fitzsimmons, who oversees the school's judicial panel, said. Four were cleared and 34 received disciplinary action ranging from expulsion to failing grades. The allegations are the largest to hit a top US business school since 2005. Schools have been strengthening their ethics curriculums after scandals at Enron Corp. and WorldCom, which landed the firms in bankruptcy and their leaders in jail. Fuqua posts an honor code that covers cheating in every classroom. In 2005, the Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management, and others rejected 150 applicants who tapped into an online database to see whether they had been accepted. Nine students face expulsion, and 15 face a one-year suspension and a failing grade in the course. Ten others were found guilty of lesser offenses, nine of whom received a failing grade and one who flunked the assignment, Fitzsimmons said in the e-mail. The problem came to light when a professor noticed similarities in answers by students on a take-home test. they are saying this is part of a growing trend across the country.

CALIgula Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i know way too many kids that cheated all the way through high school... and made it to the uni by doing so.... and there is lots of cheating that goes on in the unis.....i think its because of all the stress people put on students to "make the grade" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
