What career fields would be affected? Grad schools I get.



Financial companies even if one is not working directly in finance as I found when I had to answer questions about any disciplinary proceedings during college bearing on honesty/integrity as part of the hiring process.

Law schools and joining the bar is another one. Even if one has managed to gain admission to and graduate law school, having this on your record can complicate the character & fitness check needed to be eligible to join the state bar association necessary to practice as a lawyer. Several friends of friends ended up having to jump through many hoops and endure difficult questions during the character & fitness checks because of honor violations in college…especially if they failed to mention that in the questionnaires/law school applications.

In fact, the latter can give grounds for law schools to rescind law school admission/JD degrees even after graduation if they found out about it and it was substantiated.
