Business School has Highest Cheating Rate

Business school students have the highest rate of cheating according to this article. The rates of all graduate students cheating are pretty alarming though; none below 30%.

An interesting quote

The typical comment is that what's important is getting the job done. How you get it done is less important," McCabe said. "You'll have business students saying all I'm doing is emulating the behavior I'll need when I get out in the real world.


Oh, what has the world come to? Is this really the case?

This doesn't shock me, but it is sad. Part of the issue, in my opinion, is that the concept of "morality" is such a political football as to have lost all meaning. It's hard for schools to impart why you should be "moral" when politicians are using the word to support budget schemes, criminal punishments, and anti-gay political platforms. Kind of muddies the water a bit.
