<p>The single sanction is a ridiculous policy. There is no opportunity to learn from ones’ mistakes when the penalty is all or nothing. The appropriate response for a single incident of cheating is to fail the student on that assignment/test (or possibly the class if it was egregious enough). Removal from the university shouldn’t be the standard response; it should be saved for serial offenders.</p>
