Primetime Cheating

FYI.
TV probably worth watching:
Primetime Thursday (news program) on ABC
Thursday, April 29 at 10 p.m. ET
"Charles Gibson investigates the cheating crisis in America's schools — from plagiarism to high-tech gadgets, students are using old methods and new technology to beat the system. "
== UPDATE: I just learned from a press release my dean passed along that this episode of PrimeTime will also feature a look at turnitin.com anti-plagiarism software, which we've discussed in Pedablogue in entries past.

Dear Mr. Gibbons,
I like to tell my story about this infamous subject where my own Alma Mater Stanford University is abused by certain sick and greedy persons. Certain persons have been using Stanford University and three more US universities to enrole average foriegn students with parents millioners and billioners that pay this group $250,000 as fees to guarantee their son or daughter will graduate with and engineering degree or $300,000 to graduate with MBA degree. They use all manners of cheating taking advantage of the Honor Code and use others to sit to take exams for the wealthy kids to pass the tests.
I will be more than happy to cooperate with you and there are others who are aware of this scheme that was going on for many years and I am sure it is still going on. The person in question has at least two students per year that gets fees plus gifts from the rich parents when they go home.
Best regards.
