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.

So I'm assuming these are seniors.
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?
