> Tensions flared in early April when an anonymous student account on Instagram posted about the cheating charges. Soon after, Dartmouth issued a social media policy warning that students’ anonymous posts “may still be traced back” to them.
It's totally normal and proper for a university to tell students who speak out about being expelled by a kangaroo court of administrators "we will find you".
If they didn't want students looking at the material they should have just removed it, not relied on this insane post-hoc attempt to try and identify cheaters. Using this to try and destroy these students futures in the medical profession is unconscionable.
- elliekelly 5y agoThey can’t even properly identify who’s cheating and who isn’t but they want students to believe they’re capable of figuring out who’s behind an anonymous instagram account?
- phobosanomaly 5y agoThe whole thing smells like bullshit. The idea that under a timed medical school exam a student would spend 5 minutes rooting through Canvas to find an answer rather than just Googling it in 10 seconds is absurd. Likely the faculty was too lazy to remove the material, too tech-unsavvy to understand the possibility that Canvas could have the ability to generate automated traffic, and too paranoid to give students the benefit of the doubt.
