Duke Nabs 34 Cheaters

In a follow-up to my old-man rant, where an AP story inexplicably talked to Duke's executive director of The Center for Academic Integrity, Tim Dodd, about iPods and cheating, who offered no examples of how the media players are used legitimately in exam situations, we have this cheating scandal at Duke's business school. Here's the irony quote:

At Duke, incidents of cheating have declined over the past 10 years, largely because the community expects its students to have academic integrity, [Tim Dodd] said.

I wonder how 34 students caught cheating in one year affects that 10 year trend. One would think that Duke professors would have their personal hubris meters set to a higher sensitivity in the wake of their Lacrosse players being declared innocent, contrary to the 88 faculty who were convinced otherwise.

Thanks to the bro for the news tip.
