Facebook cheating
A Chem 2A student was referred to SJA due to an ad she posted on Facebook. The ad sought someone smart to take the student’s test in her place. She explained to the SJA officer that it was not a real solicitation but merely a joke between friends, and pointed out some aspects of the ad, which made it clear it was a joke. The student also asserted that she had in fact taken the exam herself, and could prove this. She was found innocent of academic misconduct and the charges against her were dropped. However, the student agreed not to do anything similar again.
