This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

On the one hand: awww, poor cheater world's smallest violin meme

On the other hand: expulsion from the university for a first offense seems... harsh.

I hope my Uni had this. I have never cheated, but cheaters sometimes have better grades than me.

I guess that would harm you if the class is graded on a curve. I'm not saying they shouldn't be caught and penalized, only that expulsion from the university is a harsh penalty. Automatic failure of the class would hurt plenty, without utterly destroying someone's life.

It is not harsh. Cheating is immoral and unfair, and every adult knows that. It is in nature a forgery of your degree. Honesty needs to be highly valued and respected. We have cooperations and politicians lying everyday because of this.
