RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The largest cheating scandal ever at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business involved more than a take-home exam, a business school official said Tuesday.
After finding consistencies in exam answers, "the professor said, 'Let me take a look at other stuff that's been handed in,'" said Mike Hemmerich, an associate dean at the business school. A judicial board later investigated the final exam and other assignments, resulting in the punishment of 34 graduate students.
Nine students face expulsion from the competitive two-year program, which will cost first-year students in 2007 almost $50,000 for tuition, books and a laptop computer. Another 15 students could be suspended for one year and receive a failing grade in the course.
