WASHINGTON – West Point officials have expelled eight cadets and required more than 50 others to repeat a year of instruction after the most extensive cheating scandal in more than 40 years at the Army s renowned academy with a reputation for moral rectitude.
The academy also halted a program that had allowed students violating the school s vaunted honor code to stay at West Point by admitting fault and accepting punishment, the academy announced Friday. Most of the cadets caught cheating in May had enrolled in the program, known as the Willful Admission Process. A review of the program found that it failed to meet its goal of increasing self-reporting and decreasing toleration. Its end means expulsion will be a potential punishment for any honor violation.
