No Expulsion
March 20th, 2008
The Internet does not cease to amaze me anymore. This invention has created so many opportunities, for better and for worse. Just recently I read about a college student who was facing expulsion because he started a group on FaceBook that was geared towards helping his fellow students with their homework and assignments by sharing answers. In the end, it has been decided that the student will not be expelled although he did not pass the assignment and must attend an academic misconduct workshop. His professor claimed that they were instructed to do the assignment alone and that is why this act was considered so severe. FaceBook is a terrific site that can serve many helpful purposes. At the same time it can get one into trouble so you need to watch out.
