|Arrests Made In UA Grade-Changing Incident |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |
|After a two-month investigation by the University of Arkansas Police Department in conjunction with the City of Fayetteville | | | | | |
|Prosecutor's Office, warrants were issued this week for the arrest of six individuals for unlawfully altering grades at the | | | | | |
|University of Arkansas. | | | | | |
|On Monday and Tuesday, five individuals were arrested for violations of Arkansas Code 5-37-225, "Use of false transcript, diploma, | | | | | |
|or grade report from postsecondary educational institution," a misdemeanor offense, according to the Prosecutor's office. | | | | | |
|In addition, the investigation by the University of Arkansas System's Office of Internal Audit remains ongoing at present. Designed | | | | | |
|to test the integrity of the overall grade reporting system, the Internal Audit investigation involves a random sampling of hundreds| | | | | |
|of student records over the last several years. This investigation will continue as long as necessary. | | | | | |
|As the investigations continue, University officials are considering corrective actions that may be necessary in the policies and | | | | | |
|procedures of the Office of the Registrar. | | | | | |
|"One corrective action we have already put in place is a prohibition on students or student-employees working in the Registrar's | | | | | |
|Office," said University Provost Bob Smith. | | | | | |
|In addition to criminal charges, the individuals arrested will face charges under the Student Code of Conduct, according to Brian | | | | | |
|Hemphill, associate vice chancellor and dean of students. The University Judicial Board, composed of faculty and students, will be | | | | | |
|responsible for reviewing the case. | | | | | |

|34 Duke Business Students Face Discipline for Cheating |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |
|Thirty-four first-year business graduate students at Duke University cheated on a take-home final exam, a judicial board has found, | | | | | |
|in what officials called the most widespread cheating episode in the business school’s history. The final was an open-book test in a| | | | | |
|required course in March, with students told to take the exam on their own. But many students collaborated, in violation of the | | | | | |
|school’s honor code, according to a ruling last week by the judicial board of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke. Nine of the | | | | | |
|students face expulsion, according to the ruling, which was distributed within the business school on Friday. Fifteen students were | | | | | |
|suspended for a year and given a failing grade in the course; nine were given a failing grade in the course, and one got a failing | | | | | |
|grade on the exam. Four students accused of cheating were exonerated. | | | | | |

|18 Air Force Cadets Exit Over Cheating |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |
|Fifteen cadets have been expelled and three others have resigned in a cheating scandal at the United States Air Force Academy near | | | | | |
|Colorado Springs, an Air Force official said yesterday. Thirteen more cadets have been placed on probation, and there was | | | | | |
|insufficient evidence to give out any punishment to nine others who were under investigation. Johnny Whitaker, director of | | | | | |
|communications for the Air Force Academy, said the action was the result of an investigation that began in February after a group of| | | | | |
|cadets, all freshman, were accused of cheating on a weekly multiple choice test taken Jan. 31. Mr. Whitaker said fellow cadets | | | | | |
|reported the cheating, which involved the sharing of answers over the Internet. As stipulated by the Air Force honor code, cadets, | | | | | |
|supervised by military officers, undertook the inquiry of their peers. | | | | | |

|Dean at M.I.T. Resigns, Ending a 28-Year Lie |1 |2 |3 |4 |5 |
|Marilee Jones, the dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, became well known for urging stressed-out | | | | | |
|students competing for elite colleges to calm down and stop trying to be perfect. Yesterday she admitted that she had fabricated her| | | | | |
|own educational credentials, and resigned after nearly three decades at M.I.T. Officials of the institute said she did not have even| | | | | |
|an undergraduate degree. Ms. Jones, 55, originally from Albany, had on various occasions represented herself as having degrees from| | | | | |
|three upstate New York institutions: Albany Medical College, Union College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. In fact, she had no| | | | | |
|degrees from any of those places, or anywhere else, M.I.T. officials said. | | | | | |
