25% of the UMDNJ Dental School Admits to Cheating
Students faked procedures, others aided and abetted that process, and now as many as 20 are in jeopardy of expulsion. On the other hand, the guilty ones can always ask the Dean to compare their misdeeds with those of more than a handful who presided over the near demise of UMDNJ's medical school in Newark this year...contribute a comment

Maybe you should get all the facts straight. Students did not "fake procedures" or put patients at any harm. The "cheating" was definetly unethical, but I think you comment is misleading!

Quote from the piece: "Half the students took credit for performing dental procedures that they didn't do and the others allowed it, she said."

As long as they can make good money, I don't think it really matters that they cheated. I cheated in medical at UMDNJ because the professors were terrible. Now I'm in private practice in NJ, and quite happy.
