Open letter to Valparaiso
University students
A student at Valparaiso from 1985 to 1990 recently
wrote the Honor Council about cheating he was involved in
almost two decades ago. He wrote a letter to incoming freshmen
that applies to all students: this man wants you to know
his reasons for confessing, and why he believes you shouldn't
cheat.
