Harvard president: Cheating scandal goes beyond athletics

Harvard announced last month that it was investigating similarities in the answers that more than 100 students submitted on an open-book, take-home final. Federal privacy laws prohibit the school from identifying the students or even the class, but published reports have said the class is an upper-level government class called "Introduction to Congress," and that several of the students are athletes.

"Their experience at Harvard is in large part defined by the work they do," she said. "Any kind of success and achievement is necessarily tied to the integrity of that work."

Imagine that.

Any wonder there is a lack of ethics permeating our government, they learn cheating from the ground up, along with a lack of accountability.  What a shame.
