Administrators at the University of Virginia are investigating claims that almost 35 graduate students used an online answer key to cheat on homework assignments. A first-year student in the economics program reportedly found answers to problems in an introductory course on the Web and proceeded to share the answers with most of his or her peers in the class.
Almost everyone in the course could be implicated in the cheating scandal. "I think about all the students were involved in some questionable behavior," said Steven A. Stern, the course’s professor. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
