Duke University's Fuqua School of Business joined last year with Frankfurt University's Goethe Business School to offer an executive M.B.A. program that gives students an M.B.A. from both Duke and Goethe.

The cheating episode at Duke University may cause academics to conclude the post-Enron emphasis on teaching ethics in graduate business schools is a failure.
Thirty-four first-year masters of business administration students at Dukes Fuqua School of Business were disciplined in the programs largest cheating scandal. Nine students face expulsion for collaborating on a take-home test, violating the professors rules.
Business students are more likely to cut corners than those in any other academic discipline, several studies show. A Rutgers University survey last year found that cheating at business schools is common, even after ethics courses were added following scandals that

Last month the media provided extensive coverage of a report that 34 first-year MBA students at Duke University were being expelled or otherwise punished for collaborating on a take-home exam. Some have questioned whether the faculty involved in administering this exam took adequate precautions to discourage such collaboration while the attitude of others has been what would you expect from students in a high-profile, competitive MBA program. A few people have even suggested that what these students did is no big deal.
Whatever your view, research suggests that business students are more willing to engage in academic dishonesty than other

he recent cheating scandal involving students in Duke Universitys MBA program should serve as a clarion call for colleges and universities to wake up, smell the coffee and start emulating the ethics policies of the private sector, according to at least one expert who closely follows ethics-related issues.
Yet, another ethics expert says the universitys response should serve as an example to colleges and corporations alike -- in that the institution publicized the infractions and its response to them, thereby reminding everyone that it takes violations of its honor code seriously.
Both agree, however, that the episode illustrates the tendency
