<p>[Duke</a> MBAs Fail Ethics Test](<a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg ”>Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg )</p>

Getting a bit ahead of yourself, aren’t you?
<p>Interestingguy-- Your name is singularly inappropriate, as your posting of the same old links on every thread is boring. If you insist on straying from the topic of threads solely to attack a school, then at least post something new.</p>
<p>Something like this, perhaps.
This was what happened when BusinessWeek conducted an e-mail survey of our top 25 ranked graduate business schools in an effort to quantify how widespread cheating is among B-school students. It turned out to be a tougher task than we expected. We learned that business schools are reluctant to release data about cheating and, in some cases, refuse even to discuss it.</p>
<p>Back in May—shortly after Duke announced it was disciplining 34 students for ethical violations involving a test and classwork—we asked each of the top 25 how many students had been sanctioned for cheating or other ethical violations over the past 10 years. We requested a breakdown by school year, type of violation committed, and punishment handed down, if any. We also asked the school if they had an honor code and, if so, what their process was for dealing with students who violated it.</p>
<p>Out of the 25 business schools, only three—the University of Virginia, Duke, and the University of Chicago—were able to provide us with specific data about ethical violations among their B-school students. Fifteen schools provided us with information about their policy for dealing with ethics violations, but did not provide specific figures on cheating. And seven schools declined to provide any information.</p>
<p>[Are</a> B-Schools Hiding the Cheaters?](<a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg ”>Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg )
At Chicago, between 1993 and 2006 the school held 25 disciplinary hearings for students accused of violating the honor code. All 25 resulted in sanctions.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Duke University’s B-school provided data on cheating from the past five years, going back to academic year 2002. Prior to the incident this year, where 34 students were found guilty of cheating, there had been only eight convictions, said a spokesman for the school.</p>
<p>[Schools</a>’ Responses on Cheating Stats](<a href=“Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg ”>Bloomberg Businessweek - Bloomberg )
A study conducted by a Rutgers University professor revealed students enrolled in business programs across the nation report higher levels of cheating than students in other fields of study.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>The report is derived from a survey created in 2002 that included about 20 questions regarding 20 individual cheating behaviors. The survey was given to over 170,000 students at more than 165 different colleges and universities.</p>
<p>In the data, 25 percent of business school students reported one or more incidents of cheating on exams, including cooperating during a test, copying directly from an unknowing peer or permitting a fellow student to copy from their exam.</p>
<p>Similarly, 53 percent of business school students…reported written cheating including plagiarism from print or Internet sources.</p>

<p>■■■■■, he’s been ■■■■■■■■ the Duke and WUstL boards for a while now, if you look at his posting record. Nothing constructive to say at all.</p>
Considering you’re still in high school, you have about 9 years (4 of college, 5 average work experience) to go before you apply for business school.</p>
