Cheating, both academically and generally, has been and always will be a continuing problem in our society. It is very unlikely to eliminate the problem altogether. However, we can contain or reduce the problem through enforcement and by bringing the problem to light. I personally believe that Baruch is playing a great part in reducing the possibilities and intuition of cheating through the school’s strict academic integrity policies. By addressing the problem publicly in mediums such as the school newspaper, the existing problem of cheating is addressed and acknowledged letting students be aware that the school is in fact enforcing academic integrity regulations and playing a part in the reduction of cheating.
