They are also following in the illustrious footsteps of Harvard cheater Ted Kennedy.

“This story makes no sense, if it is an “intro to congress” course, cheating would have to be part of the curriculum.”

This department at Harvard probably has “The Robert Menendez Endowed Chair”
for the most “worthy and profligate” of the cheaters. I understand Sandra Fluke is going to be and “adjunct professor” in that department to help the students understand how to engage with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic and not get caught.

somewhat more than half of the Administrative Board cases this past fall required a student to withdraw from the College for a period of time. Of the remaining cases, roughly half the students received disciplinary probation, while the balance ended in no disciplinary action.

Three groups there: Required to withdraw - Disciplinary probation - No disciplinary action.

I wonder whether there are common identifiers for each of those groups...of course, we'll probably never know.

I can add nothing to this thread. Every thought that came to me has been already said.

Ain’t FR a great place to be?!!

Cheating on a course of Introduction to Congree?

Every one of the cheaters should receive a straight A.
