University of Virginia graduate students were caught cheating by finding answers online and sharing it with other students.
Some of the students may now face investigations by the institution's honor committee.
(Chair of the economics department David) Mills said that he expects that one or two students might decide not to return after the summer, rather than face an investigation and possibly the ensuing trial from the honor committee and expulsion if convicted. He said he did not expect a mass exodus from the program. But Steven Stern, director of graduate studies in the economics department, said he expected the attrition rate to be "on the high side." Still, he said there will be no shortage of teaching assistants next year, as there are plenty of graduate students looking to make extra money.
