Soloski said the students may eventually graduate if they write a paper on journalism ethics and make up the course.

So they graduate next semester. These guys got off easy.

College seniors who still have to cheat.

These punks are a bunch of stupid retards.

Just today the punishment was announced for some journalism students here in California who faked a survey. The survey was partly responsible for moving a murder trial to another city. It's a local story.

How many colleges have journalism schools? How many local stories about the shenanigans of journalism students could there be?
