    Cheating scandal at the West Point Military Academy

    Future Army officers!


    Cadets at the officer training academy on the Hudson River are bound by an honor code that they 'will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do'

    "West Point expels eight cadets and holds 51 back a year after 73 were accused of taking part in the military academy's biggest cheating scandal in more than four decades and Most of the cadets, 51, were 'turned back' one year after admitting to cheating

    The cadets were accused of cheating on an online freshman calculus exam in May while students were studying remotely because of coronavirus

    An investigation was launched after instructors noticed irregularities in answers
    West Point said that of the 73 cases investigated by the cadet honor committee, six cadets resigned during the investigation, four were acquitted by their peers Two cases were dropped due to insufficient evidence, officials said

    In 1976, 153 upperclassmen resigned or were expelled for cheating on exam

    Those who resigned or were expelled should be at Fort Benning now, undergoing basic training. They have four years active duty to serve and four years reserve service.
