Cases of college students cheating in exams
On July 25th and 26th, 2005, xihua university organized students who failed in two courses, Economic Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics, to take make-up exams. As a result, 48 students were found to find someone to take the test or act as "gunmen" during the marking process, so they made a decision to order them to drop out of school.
On June 5438+ 10, 2006, Minzu University of China decided to expel 10 students according to the relevant regulations of the school on cheating in exams. The students have complained.
According to the latest report from Peking University, in the mid-term and final exams last semester (the first half of 2005), Peking University * * found that 2 1 undergraduates cheated in the examination room, 16 undergraduates (including 6 international students) were disqualified, and 3 undergraduates were severely warned.
On June 5, 2004, at 65438, a notice of cheating in the recent exam appeared on the campus network of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, exposing the candidates who cheated in the recent exam on campus. 4 1 cheating students' names and cheating behaviors were exposed, 17 cheating students were expelled from school.

Liu Che from the School of Tourism of Beijing Union University was ordered to drop out of school for cheating twice.

Dong Rangtong, Grade 200 1 of Zhengzhou University School of Materials Engineering, studied for Zhang Daikao. On April 4, 2003, Zhengzhou University gave Dong and the examinee the punishment of "ordering to drop out of school". The school lost the case and withdrew from school.
The Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court once made a final judgment: Jinan University's punishment for cheating in the Wu Mou exam and canceling the bachelor's degree qualification is obviously heavier than the "Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities" issued by the State Education Commission, which should be invalid. The university should reconvene its degree evaluation committee within 60 days to review Wu Mou's bachelor's degree qualification.
Is there any basis for canceling bachelor's degree qualification, ordering to drop out of school and expelling from school?
Xihua university punished 50 college students for "dropping out of school" because they cheated in the final math exam last semester. After the punishment was made, many students refused to accept it and planned to go through legal procedures. This has once again triggered a discussion on whether it is legal for schools to expel cheating students.
Zhang Hong, deputy director of the xihua university Student Affairs Office, told the reporter that every year, freshmen have to take the student code exam after entering school, and the school has the obligation to inform students of the serious consequences of violating the "high-voltage line" of the exam, and students have also signed a letter of commitment on the integrity of the exam. "But students' fluky psychology is still widespread, so we must give a profound warning, be loyal and help our friends. Zhang Hong said, "There have been sporadic similar incidents before, and students have also been ordered to drop out of school." Considering the future management of the school, the school has no way out. "According to the nature of students' serious cheating, it shall be handled in accordance with the Regulations on the Administration of College Students.
However, students believe that there are huge loopholes in the management of the make-up exam site and examination room, which objectively caused this large-scale substitute exam event, and the school is also responsible. Why did the school finally put the blame on the students? My right to education was mercilessly deprived, wasn't it? Moreover, when the school made the punishment decision, it did not seek the opinions of the students, but unilaterally made a decision to order to drop out of school. Is the procedure reasonable? Is it reasonable to "be ordered to drop out of school for cheating" according to the old Regulations on the Administration of College Students?
Deputy xihua university said: Actually, expulsion and withdrawal are only different in terms, and expulsion from school is a more severe practice. The choice of the school is emotional, choose a slightly weaker approach. Expulsion from school will be issued with an Undergraduate Certificate and ordered to drop out of school, and an Academic Certificate will be issued.
In the case of Grade 200 1 Dong in the School of Materials Engineering of Zhengzhou University, the People's Court of Erqi District of Zhengzhou City, which heard the case, held that after the school made the decision on punishment, it was illegal for the school to fail to deliver the decision, nor to inform the students of their right to defend and appeal, nor to report the punishment to the relevant departments for the record. In addition, the school rules formulated by the school do not conform to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities, and the penalties imposed by the school accordingly are obviously too heavy and unfair. Accordingly, the court made the above judgment.
Regarding the situation of 58 students in Gansu Agricultural University, the person in charge of the Academic Affairs Office said that according to the "Regulations on the Management of Students in Colleges and Universities" issued by the Ministry of Education, cheating such as taking exams instead of others, organizing cheating, and using communication equipment are all within the scope of expulsion. This time, 14 students were expelled from school for cheating instead of exams.
In fact, quite a number of cases in which "cheating" college students sued their alma mater lost. In this regard, a judge of Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court explained: At present, there are no laws and regulations against cheating in exams in China, and the means of punishing cheating in schools often cannot find a legal basis. For example, the discipline of many schools stipulates that "if cheating is punished, a bachelor's degree will not be awarded". However, neither the Academic Degrees Regulations nor China's Interim Measures for the Implementation of Academic Degrees Regulations stipulate that if you are punished for cheating, you will not be awarded a bachelor's degree. Therefore, such school discipline obviously violates the law.
Guangzhou University ordered two students to drop out of school and cancelled their diplomas because they asked gunmen to take CET-4 instead. Two students took the school to court, and the students won in the first instance, but the school refused to accept it and appealed to the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court. The Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court recently made a final judgment and upheld the original judgment. Previously, Wang Jun (a pseudonym), a 97-year-old student from the School of Chemistry of Wuhan University, also took his alma mater to court, claiming that the punishment for "cheating" was too heavy and asked the school to handle it again.
At present, almost all universities make provisions on the handling of cheating in exams according to the Regulations on the Management of Students in Colleges and Universities.
The Regulations on the Management of Students in Colleges and Universities (hereinafter referred to as the "new teaching regulations") issued by the Ministry of Education on September 1 2005 and newly implemented stipulates the handling of cheating in exams: Article 54: Students may be expelled from school if they have one of the following circumstances: (4) cheating in exams instead of others, organizing cheating, using communication equipment and other cheating behaviors are serious; (five) plagiarism, plagiarism of other people's research results, if the circumstances are serious.
The "New Education Regulations" has made some new regulations on punishing cheating in colleges and universities. The punishment for cheating students in the new education regulations has been reduced from 6 to 5, and the item of "ordered to drop out of school" has been cancelled. It also stipulates that "serious cheating behaviors such as taking exams instead of others, organizing cheating, and using communication equipment" can be punished by expulsion from school, and the punishment for cheating is more specific. At the same time, it is stipulated that students who are punished can appeal step by step.
However, people still have different views on the "new education regulations".
Some teachers worry that the new school rules in many schools are much milder than before. Will they "condone" the derailment? In this regard, Yang Chaohui, a teacher at Capital Normal University, believes that "heavy punishment" is not necessarily the most effective means to punish cheating. Teacher Yang Chaohui once made a survey and found that those who were punished for cheating in exams didn't really realize the harm of cheating, and sometimes even blamed the punishment for cheating on "bad luck". Therefore, cheating cannot be cured by punishment alone, and external punishment should be combined with internal correction. Yang Chaohui advocated that the punishment for cheating should not be too severe, and should be combined with emotional education to start the students' self-education system.
Some teachers also believe that the new education regulations give school proofreaders a compulsory, unified and scientific punishment for cheating, and strengthen the punishment for cheating in schools. Professor Yan Xu, director of the Institute of Psychometrics and Evaluation of Beijing Normal University, believes that the punishment for students cheating should be persistent, and students should not be relaxed for a while, and there should be no loopholes in the system.
Zhou Ranyi believes that the social harm of cheating should also be considered when discussing the punishment for students who cheat in exams. A survey of 5000 students in seven universities shows that nearly 10% students often cheat in exams, and another 59.5% respondents admit to cheating occasionally. One of the reasons why cheating is so common is that the cost of cheating is too low. If we are tolerant of cheaters, it is obviously unfair to those who don't cheat, and may even attract more people to cheat, making the already dangerous social integrity worse. Therefore, to control cheating in exams, we must severely punish them.
In response to the punishment of "ordering 50 college students to drop out of school" in xihua university, lawyer Wang Jiajing believes that "the school confiscated all kinds of documents from students during their complaints, which is another serious violation of students' right to education. The school takes it for granted when dealing with problems, and does not take any measures to protect and care for students and various matters after handling them. It is against the educational principle to expel students. Even legally speaking, students have the right to stay in school within 30 working days after the complaint period begins. Now that the deadline has not passed, why should the school rush? "
What other thoughts outside the law do we have about college students cheating in exams?
I think what Shi Xin said is very reasonable: as some educators have said, even if the legal conflict is solved, the final solution of the problem still depends on the institutional arrangement of higher education. After the reform of higher education entered the deep water area, the academic evaluation system such as college students' love and cohabitation, female students' prostitution, postgraduate enrollment shady, and college corruption became more acute and inevitable social problems.
However, whether cheating, a common illegal phenomenon under the current education system, will be severely punished by expulsion or withdrawal will still be a widely debated issue, and it is difficult to obtain the knowledge of * * * for the time being and to effectively solve the judicial intervention.
With the popularity of social anti-counterfeiting, students cheat more and more commonly. The result-oriented outlook on life ignores people's pursuit of the struggle process, and the instant pleasure stifles people's prospects for the future. For a long time in the past, in order to catch up with the economy quickly, we intentionally or unintentionally ignored many things that must go hand in hand with it, such as morality, honesty, personality, honor and so on. In the end, although the economy has gone up, the negative effects can't be bought back with money. With the lack of social integrity, the purity of the school began to be polluted by it, and cheating in exams changed from social workers to students. When this dangerous signal rings, the helplessness of typical phenomena is due to the overall degradation. In this way, as long as the fake does not die, no one will feel trouble, and being good at cheating in off-campus exams has become a big landscape. While people are saddened by the deterioration of society, they are even more worried that students' cheating will add fuel to the crisis of honesty. But there is no way to eradicate this trend.
Some people think that college students' cheating in exams is the evil result of the utilitarian nature of university education. It is our education that begins to move towards utilitarian education. Why students cheat is not just a moral issue. In fact, some students have higher moral standards than others who set an example. It is not appropriate to measure a student's moral character by cheating. In fact, many students are good young people with ideas, ideas, ideals and the pursuit of progress. They entered the university through more than ten years of hard work, but what did the university give them? In addition to good campus conditions, you can fall in love freely and skip classes. The remaining feelings are often lower than those in high school, which promotes him. There is a serious phenomenon of weariness of learning and the world in China University.
In short, we should adhere to the relevant procedures in dealing with college students' cheating in exams. At the same time, we should strengthen the education of students. Teachers should lead by example. It is also important to purify the social atmosphere.
