'Blind eye' turned to exam cheats
Universities are turning a blind eye to cheating to boost degree results, a leading academic says.

Ok so a university or other colleges are letting people cheat just so they can say we have a certain percentage rate of graduates? Never mind they have no clue in what they are doing in their job field or other chosen field of study. It saddens me to think that our post graduate schools are not helping our young people learn like they should.
When I was in grad school they actually scanned student papers and ran them through a program that searched the internet for similar content to try and guard against plagarism and cheating. I know there are plenty of cheaters in our universities but most students put in the work to get the degree.
I know there are many students that are going about their education the right way. But I believe there is a equal number that are cheating their way through college. I can not believe that some colleges are not doing more to stop this from happening. These young men and women are the ones to help shape our future. With some cheating in college they are not going to get far in the real world where cheating does not pay well.
