Dear Mays MBA and Executive MBA alumni,

I want to contact you personally concerning a recent incident at Mays Business School that, in light of a recent incident at another well known major university, may generate press coverage over the coming days.

As a program, and on an individual level, we value the personal relationship that we have with you. We believe it's important that we provide you with the details directly and in a forthright manner.

While this incident did not involve any MBA or EMBA students at Mays Business School, it runs counter to the Texas A&M and Mays Business School commitment to develop ethical business leaders.

Texas A&M University's Mays Business School is taking disciplinary action against 24 undergraduate students who allegedly cheated on a quiz in a business ethics class. Students enrolled in the course took the quiz for fellow students who were absent. Those 24 students, all seniors in business majors, will receive grades of 'D' or 'F' as a result of their involvement.

The students used electronic devices, called classroom responders, to enter their answers to quiz questions in the class. The responder sends a radio frequency signal to a receiver at the front of the classroom. The answers are graded and recorded by a computer program. Some of the students gave their responder to another student in the class, who entered the answers on both their own and the absent student's responder.

Twenty-seven other students were also under investigation but were cleared of wrongdoing. Those students either provided reasonable explanations or were excused for lack of evidence.

A small percentage of students in this particular undergraduate class were involved in this incident and they should not be considered a reflection of all Mays business students.

We take seriously our mission to develop ethical business leaders. The Texas A&M Aggie Honor Code, "Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal nor tolerate those who do," is not intended to be mere words.

For additional information, I have attached a copy of the media release sent to Mays faculty and staff, all Mays students, and the Texas A&M community this morning.

We appreciate your continued support of Mays Business School.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Best regards,
Bala

Inače, ovo drugo poznato sveučilište o kojem govore je Duke.  Tamo su dobili ispit da ga riješe kod kuće i predaju, i onda je poizbacalo jedno 15-20 njih iz škole jer su prepisivali odgovore jedni od drugih.  Samo ne znam ako im se, kao ovim mojim Aggie-jima, to dogodilo na predavanju iz -- etike!
