Duke Students Disciplined For Cheating

Submitted by Ivan, May 1, 2007 23:47

I went to grad school and took some business courses as they were tangentially related. MBA students were by far the laziest whining babies. "But I work a full time job..I can't do homework" - Tough, suck it up or no degree. I bet the professor gave a take home test because that's the only way most of these simpering peons can pass the course...and they still cheated! Remember the Fedex commercial "so easy even an MBA can do it" - they weren't far off the mark. These jokers have a sense of entitlement worse than 18 year old upper class freshmen, which is saying something. I'll bet you at least 3 have their lawyer daddies sue the school, and wouldn't be surprised if they win - the business program creates a lot of wealthy people who donate a lot of money. Welcome to the future of education: where the customer is always right.
