Goddard | @DanRomik Certainly there's "exceeding the posted speed limit by 5 mph" vs. "deliberately endangering everyone by going 120 mph and weaving in and out." If you look on Craigslist under Services/Lessons, you'll see some pretty slick ads for "homework help." They'll take your on-line class for you. Those people need to do time. The girl who sleeps with a boy as payment for him to take an exam for her....yeah, a week in the slammer for her. | |

Light cases is 3 years in prison. Serious offence will be punished by 3 - 7 years in prison and fine. Those who are benefitted from the fraud will be expelled from the university and will be disqualified to take national exams in 1 - 3 years. Effective 2016. I do not have reference in English. Here is the reference in Chinese. Sorry about my sloppy translation. (I did my best, though) | |

Your view about prosecuting cheaters is interesting, but I suspect you aren’t really taking into account the full implications of criminalizing such a huge swathe of human behavior. Many forms of lying can be reasonably argued to meet the definition of fraud - lying on a date, lying on a job interview, lying to your spouse or friends, etc. Are you seriously suggesting that all people who engage in such behaviors (probably most of humanity) also need to “spend some soft time in the county lock-up”? If not, what makes academic cheating more severe than those behaviors? | |
