College Survey:
'Systematic Cheating
Custom, Not Exception'
.. I.., ! 1 1
A urvev of American college
student indicated that "systemat
ic cheating on examinations is the
custom rather than the exception"
at many large colleges.
The survey, conducted by Philip
Jacob, social sciences professor at
tb University of Pennsylvania,
was presented to the 12th national
conference on Higher Education.
In contrast to what the report
called "generally low standards in
regard to academic honesty" were
findings about college students'
standards of sexual morality.
"Despite the boldness of college
talk, dress and outward social con
duct, H it said," ... in personal
practice and fundamental belief
students generally hold to stand
ards which are thoroughly conven
tional." Jacob cited two specific studies
which he said "point up the pre
vailing student code of sex molal
ity:" At the University of Chicago "an
intimate duscussion of moral is
sues with a group of freshmen wom
en showed that the girls . . . were
more orthodox than was attributed
to them by their fellow students
and that talk may be more liber
tarian at a place like Chicago
than practice."
At Cornell University, Ithaca,
N.Y., "students by and large at
tached little importance to chastity
as a criterian for choosing a mate,
yet few of them would justify a
life of promiscuity." The majority
"evidently found the cannons of
chastity appropriate to govern their
personal lives."
Jacob's study inquired into what
Influence colleges and universities
have on students' social, moral and
religious values.
The answer, he said, is that
"for the most part" they seem to
have no influence at all.
The main overall effect of high
er education upon student values,"
he said, "is to bring about conform
ity to a body of standards and at
titudes of the college-bred man or
woman of the American culture.
Although the "intellectual, cul
tural or moral climate of some
institutions stands out," Jacob
said, most colleges "will have to
learn how to salvage the most es
sential product of a liberal education-students
who know what they
value and why."
"Frequent cheating is admitted
by 40 percent or more at a large
number of colleges, often with no
apology or sense of wrong-doing."
