Report on Academic Dishonesty
=============================


We think that most students are honest.  Moreover, we think that one
should be honest because it is the right thing to do, not out of fear
of punishment.  The few students who do cheat cause great harm to the
honest, hard-working majority.  Therefore, it is our policy to
vigorously prosecute violators.  (The Department policy on academic
dishonesty may be found on this server under the entry "Forms,
Instructions, Policies, Rosters".)

For the  Fall 1993 semester, there were 10 reported cases of cheating 
in the Computer Science Division, involving 38 students.
