Students say they blew whistle on cheating at Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business

The New York Post reports:
A culture of corruption at Baruch business school was so pervasive that grad students openly cheated and a professor gave out answers during an exam, claim four ex-students who intend to sue the city university.

“Cheating is their bread and butter,” said Ezra Glaser, attorney for the four whistleblowers, who filed a notice of claim against CUNY and the Zicklin School of Business on June 14.

The new charges come a week after The Post revealed that a Zicklin administrator was bounced after forging professors’ names to inflate grades for about 15 students to keep $45,000 to $75,000 tuition checks flowing.

You'll want to read the whole article. RICO? Mail and wire fraud? It's nice to know that student loan money is going to an institution like this.
