Cheating

This BusinessWeek article brings up a great point: how am I supposed to find out which schools out cheaters? More importantly, which schools ensure fair peer-on-peer comparisons and which ones hide their scandals or turn a blind eye to cheating?

Thanks to this article, we know three schools that openly punish cheating: Duke, UVA, and Chicago. To me, this says, "cheaters, go elsewhere," and I commend each of them for it.

I definitely need straight answers on this question because I want to attend a school that's well known for creating an ethical environment, not just offering ethics classes. I can guarantee that I'll toss these questions to my target schools' admissions staff.
