Covering the business of education and training

Asian students who are caught cheating at the Duke University Business School get punished more severely than others.

Some 34 students were caught cheating on an exam or other assignment. Nine students were bounced from the school, 15 were suspended for a year and the others were given a failing grade.

The nine who were bounced were all Asian, from China, Korea, Taiwan....

Hmmm...doesn't sound right to me.

The Asian students 'confessed' to the wrongdoing. The others apparently fought, appealed, cried, slobbered or whatever....for another chance.

Confession means guilt and punishment should be administered. But...how is it that only the Asians were expelled, (all of them having been in the U.S. for less than a year.)

Were they to have been around longer, would they have learned to fight back despite their guilt?

Duke needs to take another look.

What do you think?
