Top Tier, we will have to agree to disagree on this one. I am not insensitive to all those who didn’t cheat ever. (Or those who did and never got caught). But I can live with the idea that someone can make a mistake and not have to pay the price if those in charge are willing to look over his/her entire record and decide that this was an aberration. I am willing to trust the professional discretion of the teaching staff, who presumably know this person. Zero tolerance policies are too often blunt instruments that result in less rather than more justice.
