Is cheating fair for the sake of higher education and to save time?

A friend of mine has made fake certificates and submitted those at a university to get admission. He is studying there for his undergraduate studies and also getting scholarship. for his secondary and higher school grades (which are false as he has fake his certificates). I know the university will never find that he is fake because they will never verify it. I cannot inform the university about that as I am his friend and maybe if I do he will take revenge. I am having frastrations when I think about this because I am paying to the universities for my credit hours though I have real but ordinary results.





Please, put your opinion.|||Life is a boomerang! Whether it is your thoughts, actions or behavior, sooner or later they return - and with great accuracy.





Your friend has done this for the admission and scholarship and he is getting it. We can understand that. But scholarship for what? admission for what? To study, right? And scholarship (almost in every University) offers some obligation as for example scoring a minimum level of mentioned CGPA (like 3.5 or above) to continue with the scholarship. Do you think he is able to do that?





Let think like this, he got an admission to complete his undergraduate studies and for maintaining his scholarship he needs to work hard to score required CGPA which only good and seriosu students can. If he can score that and do really works hard this time then I would say he is paying off for his past and he is a good student. But, if he fails to do that then what will he do? What?





No answer.





Yes, he will again cheat. But, for how long. This path has no end unless he now become serious and work really hard and try to be a good student.





Let us watch him. What he does. Time will answer.





And, for your convenience I will say just work hard and study well. After graduating and as you will get a job you will be able to earn a lot of money which is worth getting a scholarship or financial aid by cheating.





You can send a annonomyous letter to the University authority and inform them about this. But, if your friend is a poor guy and really needs scholarship and is doing well then no need to do that. The university will itself find it out if he performs bad in his education. I believe as your friend had done this for admission and scholarship thus it proves he wants education and he is quite poor or unable to pay for his education. But, if he is doing that for fun, it will end very soon and I think you have to do anything for that.





Just, focus on your study and eard good grades and then apply for scholarship if you want.





Life is too long then we think and cheating will only make it a hell. A long journey in the hell is not a good thing.





Relax and keep learning from your experience.





GoodLuck!|||Even if he works hard to keep the scholarship, he still got it through illegal means. There are other kids that would work at college, but they don't get the chance because someone cheated their way there. No matter how poor you are, how much you want a degree, you can't skip cheat your way there.

Report Abuse


|||Its very unfair because there is someone out there who studied hard and made the grade but was denied a place at the school and also a scholarship because your friend decided he'd submit fakes.





There are also people like you who are struggling to get through university without having the luxury of a scholarship, you shoul be proud of your results because even though you say they are ordinary you EARNED them.|||NO NO NO NO NO NO ONONO ON|||No, cheating is cheating. Your "friend" needs to gain entry to whatever university he wants through normal means instead of robbing kids who have actually put in the work and effort to getting in to that university.|||Your friend is taking advantage of the help that is there for people who really qualify and are trying honestly to better themselves. He needs to be turned in.|||it all depends on the situation you are in at that moment|||when i pay someone for their services , i expect that they went and got their training the right way . it upsets me to hear your problem . you say you can't tell on him , so i would hang with a better class of people .|||Personally, I think that it would be nice if one could just take the board exam %26amp; be what one wants to be. I never cheated. In fact, I refused to use my natural visual imagery abilities because I felt that it was an unfair advantage over those that could only think in words. I even refused to use the textbook on open book tests. But, that's just me.|||This is unfair to everyone involved. Not only is it unfair to the person that WOULD have received the scholarship he has now for their high grades, it is unfair to people who are paying to go to the college and their tuition money goes to sponsoring his scholarship. It is also unfair to him, because he will have to live with the fact that he cheated his way into school and hurt people that deserved to go.





I am very surprised that he was able to pull this off. Generally universities are very careful as to who they admit, especially people receiving scholarships. While I understand that you feel you cannot tell the school, you should write an anonymous letter to your school's administration and let them know what your friend has done. This will be hard for you to do, especially since you care about your friend's well-being, but what he has done is not only immoral, it is illegal and you cannot allow him to take advantage of the school system like this.|||i think your friend is just like me, is he a hard worker?? or just cheat and stuff all the time cuz if he is,no it's not fair but if he's a hard worker and just needs to get a scholarship i thinks it's fair...|||I wouldn't tell on him. I wouldn't hang out with him either. He will get what he deserves. What go's around comes around.|||I must say that you are in a very awkward and frustrating position, but I want to offer a different perspective. Think for a moment about how hard you are working to pay for your education and then think of the other students have worked hard to get a scholarship, but were denied because the scholarship went to your friend who does not deserve it.





Your friend is not only hurting himself, but you and others as well. My advice would be to seek the counsel of a trusted professor and make an anonymous complaint. Most likely the school will then investigate and keep your name out of it. Your friend obviously knew when he committed the fraud that there was a possibility that he could be found out.





Doing what is right can be very hard, but you'd be standing up for hardworking students like yourself and others.





Good Luck!|||Cheating is never fair. but there are also people who do not have the money it takes to get anywhere without cheating. don't look for others to excersize your concience. you'll find you'll be able to deal with this
