Should he be expelled?

Offhand, I believe attempting to take the test for someone else makes you an accessory to cheating - but *only* as an accessory. I agree with the opinion that the impersonator should not be expelled from the university, rather he should just be given a much more lenient punishment. It's a different case for the cheater though, now *he* should be expelled, no questions asked.

Hello friens, We had a similar case here in India, in which few students cheated in the engineering entrance exam of a prestigious institute here in 2005. The case went on for four years and the students had been banned from taking entrance exam of that university again. However, the judge gave his final verdict a few days back, in which he said that putting those students behind bars would not have any positive effect on them and hence they should be allowed to carry on with their studies. they already lost four precious years of their educational life and that should be lesson enough..

..well, most often than not, schools have their way of punishing students to teach them the right thing.. And those are called rules.. But these rules are supposed to be discussed during the opening of classes so that students will be aware of avoiding those that could lead them for expulsion.. If the student knew the rule, then he should have not did that thing in the first place.. maybe it would be better if the school informed students first regarding the DOs and DONTs of the school.. I believe the student has all the right to appeal for his right to education if the school failed to warn him in the first place.. But if that is already considered a grave misconduct, then maybe the school has no choice but expel the child.. I don't really know the situation but according to how I understand it, there was a glitch regarding the warning of the school to the student..
