<p>To anyone who's taking class at Haas, you hear anything about recent cases of cheating? Even though I'm a bus. major I am not taking any classes there, I just got the e-mail from the dean of Haas saying he was concerned about it, not sure if it's a huge deal. Any info out there?</p>
<p>

<p>Buses don’t need to worry about people cheating.

<p>Silly bus. What are you doing on college confidential? You shouldn’t even be a registered student at Berkeley, you have no brain and therefore lack the capacity for critical thinking.</p>
<p>Business major not taking any classes at Haas. Makes no sense.</p>
<p>Could you post the letter? I would like to read it.</p>
<p>HEY! Just because I’m a bus. don’t mean I’m not smrt and that I can’t think while hauling your corpulent masses around…</p>
<p>Anyways here was the letter sent to all Haas undergrads, nothing particularly specific:</p>
<p>
Dear Members of the Berkeley-Haas Undergraduate Program,</p>
<p>I am sorry to have to write to you about the troubling topic of cheating, but it has become a concern in our Undergraduate Program. I know this from listening to many of you and from a few recent cases where your classmates have been discovered cheating and have been held accountable. </p>
<p>Let me be clear: There is zero tolerance for cheating or similar dishonest behavior at the Haas School. If you cheat and are found out, you will face severe consequences. You may already know of classmates who have been or soon will be suspended up to a year, or who have received an F in a course for misconduct.</p>
<p>We are intensifying our efforts. The Undergraduate Program Office is working closely with Haas faculty and staff members to limit opportunities for potential misconduct in our classrooms. You may notice changes in how you take exams in the future, for example. </p>
<p>But enforcement is not as important as enlisting your help. Your professors and I cannot easily change attitudes that set bad behavior in motion. But you can make a difference. Our Berkeley-Haas culture promotes the idea of speaking up when things dont seem right. If you see or know of someone cheating, let them know that you know, and that it lets our whole school down. It rips away at the outstanding reputation of our top-ranked school and our university. I realize that this is not always easy to do, but it is the right thing.</p>
<p>The good news is that the vast majority of you are not involved, and you have told me you want everyone to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. Lets work together to put this matter behind us quickly. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Rich</p>

<p>Hoping it’s something juicy like a secret ninja cheating ring by X organization or something… but it’s probably one individual being an idiot.</p>
