Cheaters Inc. | University Education | All Money Welcome!

Over the last week or so, I’ve been madly marking assignments for a nearby university. I’ve been doing this for a few years now, and one thing I’ve discovered is that many students cheat. In the latest assignment, for example, out of about 50 students I marked, 12 of them cheated. That’s 24%. Almost one in four students cheated — at least the ones that I detected. I don’t know if the students are copying each other, or paying for somebody to do their assignments, but certainly, it’s the same assignment being used over and over again. Now I’m not the examiner for these courses, so I have no right to fail the students or give them a zero on the assignment. I can only contact the university and let them know my findings — and that’s exactly what I do every year. But what do the university do about it? Almost nothing! Why does the university not suspend them, or expel them, or at the very least, fail them in that assignment? I’ll tell you why — because every single student that I have accused of cheating is an international student. Why does that matter? Because international students make up a huge proportion of university revenue. Yes, as expected, money is to blame. If you kick an international student out, you no longer get that lucrative income stream.
