100 UBC students accused of cheating on math midterm

[the truth]

how many have cheated over the years-thousands-? but end up with a bs degree on there wall, and end up with a job telling people what they do, i have said it a million times, care full people a piece of paper on a wall means nothing,

one simple example https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british- ... -1.5650064

I'm wondering if the accused cheaters are ones that have to take math 100 as a prerequisite for further studies that don't require calculus. Others that are going into engineering for example, I do hope take math seriously and didn't cheat. I'd never want to drive on a bridge or live below a dam they designed if they can't do math.

Regardless, really dumb thing to do. Expel and keep that precedent for cheating intact.

I half agree. That piece of paper means they have delved deeply into a specialized field of knowledge. The higher the accreditation the more narrow and focused their studies.

So trust their training, wisdom, and experience on that subject within the right lens: but for everything else trust them nomore than you would anyone else.
