Cheating

Two articles on cheating in the graduate and post graduate arena:

and

And, an opinion piece from the Guardian in England that discusses how corporate America is removing education from the public sphere and making it a leader driven profession:

Maybe it is my bias, but I would think cheating and profit-driven education are linked. Ultimately, not education but success, in the profit orientation of the word, is currently governing the ways schools operate. It is sad.
