Cheating Scandal at Harvard

“I have foreign roommates who come from university systems where there is no role for athletics,So when they see athletes cutting corners like this, their response is to say, Good riddance. And they are not the only students troubled. Some athletes are here working hard, but others avoid academic challenges. You know you won’t find them in a deductive logic course, but you will find them in a much less taxing sociology course. They sometimes exist apart, and collectively gravitate to the same majors, like sociology or government. It’s known.”

Patrick Lane
There are some athletes at Harvard University who have been cheating on test even though the majority doesn't.  the Harvard basketball team had multiple accounts of academic cheating. The outcome is unknown on the investigation. I think its unfair that the school requires 40+ hours for their sport and they have no time for the class work and the students should not be judged but given a chance to actually have an education.
