That comment, signed "NYU Student," was left on a blog post about an NYU Stern undergraduate plagiarism episode and, sadly, was fairly typical. In fact, more than two dozen comments were left on the post, many of them blaming the episode on the Stern grading curve, the highly competitive environment, the professor who discovered the cheating, the culture of cheating that permeates higher education.on everything, it seems, except the people who actually cheated. This was shocking, far more shocking, in fact, than the cheating episode itself. I’m not sure what it says about the vast majority of Stern undergraduates, or college students more broadly. And I don’t know if one can fairly blame Stern for instilling this attitude in students; I suspect not. But I think this is something that business educators need to grapple with, and quickly. The last time people like "NYU Student" were loosed upon the business world the result was a global financial cataclysm. Nobody wants that to happen again.
