In the largest cheating scandal in the history of Duke Universitys Fuqua School of Business, 34 MBA students face steep penalties after university officials determined they collaborated on answers of an exam.
Nine students face expulsion, said Mike Hemmerich, an associate dean at the business school. Fifteen will receive a one-year suspension from the school along with a failing grade in the course. Nine will get only a failing grade in the course. One student received a failing grade for the exam. Four students were found not guilty. All were from the Class of 2008.
Federal privacy laws prevent naming the involved students, said Hemmerich, who wouldnt disclose the affected course or what the test was about. He only said those involved were first-year students taking a required test.
