In related news this past week,
a grad student admitted on an anonymous site ("[College Name] secrets") admitted
to cheating on exams, with enough detail (dummy!) on how they cheated, such that
the professor they cheated on (a friend of mine) was able to readily figure out just
who the cheater was.
Said grad student is screwed. Prof reported them to the Administration.
They're now getting:
- kicked out of University;
- having their (already awarded!) degree revoked;
- having their transcript updated to reflect same.
Which means that for all practical purposes, the caught cheater pretty much
just ended their own career, before even getting their first full time job...
Oh, and not only did they lose probably five years of their life, they still also have
to pay back those years' college loans too, but now without the benefit of the job
that would have come from having that graduate degree.
Yeah, the real world can suck pretty bad...even in school.
