RE: So, how is he any better?
He’s not. He prefers the security of his tenure and his comfortable salary than to rock the boat (much like a lot of our politicians everywhere).
This professor then shows his foolishness by posting his thoughts in a BLOG instead of confronting the students head-on or informing the administration.
If someone in the administration of NYU ever reads that blog or even this thread ( it is now PUBLIC on the internet ), He/She OUGHT to do something about this mass cheating.
If this culture of cheating continues without anything being done about it, it will be the end of NYU as we know it ( or what’s left of it ).
It’s really very sad that he sold out for what, in the long run, is so little. Esau selling his birthright, for a bowl of pottage. Every time I’ve caught students cheating, they always look stunned. First, that I”ve caught it (they think they’re being so sneaky-not); and second, that it’s a big deal. Since these students are going to be teachers, guess what, it’s a huge deal.
Small potatoes but it shows just how corrupt this nation is from top to bottom & everything in between.
