Dozens of cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point were caught
cheating on a calculus final exam in May after they all made the same errors
on the test, according to officials.
Instructors at the Army's premier training ground for officers revealed the
academic scandal on Monday, saying it's the worst they've seen since the
1970s.
So far, 59 cadets out of a suspected 73 have admitted to taking part in the
scam in which the students "shared answers and made the same mistakes," Lt.
Col. Chris Ophardt, a West Point spokesman told NPR.
The test was administered remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Four cadets have resigned and another eight, who say they're innocent of any
wrongdoing, will face a full hearing led by seniors at the academy. The
cases against two others initially implicated in the scheme have been
dismissed for lack of evidence.
Cadets who commit to the rigorous military academy agree to abide by a
strict honor code that holds them up to a high standard in exchange for free
tuition and a $10,000 annual stipend to every student, in addition to the
opportunity to become some of the nation's top military leaders. | H********g

发帖数: 2555 | 3 The majority of cadets caught cheating on a math test at the West Point
military academy are athletes — including two dozen members of the Army
football team playing West Virginia in Thursday’s Liberty Bowl.
Of the 24 Army Black Knights embroiled in the scandal, 17 remained in
uniform as of Wednesday — and a few have already played in games this
season, USA Today reported.
They remain on the team because West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl
Williams suspended the school’s policy of barring cadets who violate the
academy’s honor code from representing the school in public.
The honor code is engraved in a monument at the Hudson River front school:
“A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
In all, 55 of the 73 cadets caught cheating on the May calculus test at the
upstate New York school are members of sports teams and squads at the
academy in the largest cheating scandal there in 44 years.
In 1976, 153 cadets were caught cheating on a mechanical engineering exam.
Over 70 West Point cadets accused of cheating on math test
In the current scandal, 58 cadets have already admitted that they cheated
and will remain on probation throughout their tenure at West Point.
Under academy policy, cadets found guilty of cheating would not have been
allowed to play on sports teams after Nov 30, the date they were found in
violation of the code.
But in an Oct. 23 memo, Williams wrote that the policy “resulted in an
inequitable application of consequences and developmental opportunities”
for some cadets.
West Point spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Ophardt told USA Today that the
decision was not related to the school’s football season.
“We didn’t cancel the punishment,” Ophardt said. “We delayed it until
final adjudication.”
The Army football squad is 9-2 this season. | p*****h
