There are two things you can be sure of when you read the words, West Point honor scandal : It s always way bigger than they say, and it s never as simple as it appears. That s why the scandal announced at the U.S. Military Academy last week, after 73 freshman cadets were apparently caught cheating on a calculus exam in May, is almost certainly not what it seems.
Of the 73 plebes charged, 59 have admitted cheating on the test, four have resigned from the academy, two cases were dropped, and eight cadets have opted to face a formal hearing. West Point announced last week that 55 of the cadets charged in the scandal will be retained at the academy and enrolled in a rehabilitation program called the willful admission process whereby they will receive training in honor and be assigned officer-mentors who will monitor their progress.
