Last spring, more than 70 cadets were arrested in the U.S. at West Point after being accused of cheating in calculus exams. The military academy is facing its biggest educational scandal in nearly five decades, officials said.
West Point officials said the if on cadets confessed to cheating in the test, which all defendants took away from the academy grounds due to a coronavirus epidemic, West Point officials said. The fraud scandal was first reported by USA Today.
Six cases were dropped – two for lack of evidence; After four cadets resigned – and eight cadets face a Code of Honor hearing that could result in their expulsion, said Lt. Col. Christopher Affard, the academy’s director of public affairs.
“The Ors Nurse process is working as expected, and in any of these cases the policy is no exception.” Colonel Hard Fard said in a statement. “Cadets are being held accountable for breaking the code.”
Those who have admitted to the fraud, violated the academy’s code of honor, most of them enrolled in the rehabilitation program, which officials introduced many years ago to give cadets who break West Point rules and regulations a second chance instead of leaving them empty. As was practiced in the past.
