Ethics Is Whatever You Want It To Be

43 Dartmouth Students Suspected Of Cheating In Ethics Class Designed For Athletes

"Forty three students at Dartmouth College have been "implicated in an academic dishonesty case" in an ethics course, student newspaper The Dartmouth reports.

According to The Dartmouth, the 43 students allegedly skipped class, but got other students to sign in for them and answer questions using an electronic clicker. "Each clicker is registered with one student, who gains points for submitting answers to certain in-class questions," The Dartmouth reports.

The course — "Sports, Ethics and Religion" — is taught by Dartmouth religion professor Randall Balmer and is the largest course at the college this term, with 272 students. "Attendance and participation account for about 15% of a student's grade in the class," The Dartmouth reports."

What do they expect? Ethics is all about how moral decisions are made by the individual, depending upon the situation, not some absolute objective law. These students have done just that. They should all get A+.
