Dr. Frey discussed the problems with cheating and plagiarism
in the MM Department. He brought up a suggestion from
Mike Dobbs regarding a College Clearing House of Academic
Dishonesty. There was much discussion regarding this
issue and how to bring something about to discourage
dishonesty and cheating. Dean Duggar mentioned that
the Nursing Program has a form that the students sign
for honesty. Dean Duggar asked
Carleen to think about how we can set this up and keep
it secure. Need to check into any information that needs
to be disclosed to the student before we try to do this.

she has about 30 and they are all placed. She commented
