Duke Cheating Probe Shows Failure of Post-Enron Ethics Classes
By Matthew Keenan and Brian K. Sullivan
"The cheating episode at Duke University may cause academics to conclude the post-Enron emphasis on teaching ethics in graduate business schools is a failure.
Thirty-four first-year candidates for a master's of business administration degree at Duke's Fuqua School of Business were disciplined in the program's largest cheating scandal. Nine students face expulsion for collaborating on a take-home test, in violation of the professor's rules.
Business students are more likely to cut corners than those in any other academic discipline, several studies show. A Rutgers University survey last year found that cheating at business schools is common, even after ethics courses were added following scandals that bankrupted Enron Corp. and WorldCom Inc."

If those students don't care about ethics now, how do you expect them to influence the business world in the future ? Do you still put your trust in men, like so many before you ? Will you continue to refuse to see that there is only one standard that is everlasting and will lead to well-being ?
