This prestigious school has been lying for over 10 years about the academic records of its enrolled students in order to pad its reputation. The response of Emory's President? Here it is: "It is a minor blow to our reputation." <br /><br />For the whole story, go to: <br />http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/emory-university-misrepresented-student-1501300.html<br /><br />We have come to a point in our culture where cheating is okay . . . as long as you are not caught. This presents a huge economic problem, among others. If I cannot trust that the person/company I am dealing with isn't cheating me, I will become increasingly risk averse. Risk averse economies do not prosper because everyone holds on to their cash. Hmm, that sounds like what everyone is doing.<br /><br />Scott Boerckelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309616618680057804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4443356873895092571.post-62553253948323189292012-08-17T07:38:19.406-07:002012-08-17T07:38:19.406-07:00Ritch: Great thoughts and very convicting.

Many people excuse speeding on the grounds that there is no enforcement of the law within a range of 5-10 mph over the posted limit. It seems that swimmers make a similar argument: if there is no enforcement of a rule, is it really a rule?Daniel Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695545556655878383noreply@blogger.com
