Public Ivy like Ivy?

Imagine that an academic issue at Dartmouth involving athletes.

They got caught cheating and the university is making them face up to honor-code violations.

Not much similarity to U*NC-CH from what I can see.

Except for the mention of the class being created specifically for athletes. Maybe nothing but then at the beginning of the UNC mess it was thought to be nothing as well.

The strain of Ivy that grows in Chapel Hill is “Poison Ivy”!

"Whomp 'em, Up, Side the Head"!

*Ethics*

Welp, sounds like they’re ready for a real world job at the Hole. If you’ve got the wherewithal to cheat in a college ethics course then you’re ready to cheat and have no ethics at Fraud U.!

[Pack78]

Reminds of the old line about sincerity:

‘Once you learn how to fake having ethics, you’ve got it made!’

[tractor57]

It just struck me odd that here was an ethics course designed for jocks that had the issues. Kudos to Dartmouth for both exposing and apparently taking corrective action but as we have seen with our friends at the dump on the hump initial impressions might be horribly wrong. Hopefully that is not the case but in this day …
