‘Organized,’ ‘belligerent cheaters’ overwhelm Tech summer classes

A group of "organized," "belligerent cheaters" overwhelmed several classes at Montana Tech this summer.

The spate of academic dishonesty, which resulted in the expulsion of 15 students, appears to have been far more systematic and widespread than previously reported.

Montana Tech professors and proctors were confronted by dozens of out-of-state Middle Eastern students blatantly cheating through a variety of methods, including smuggled cell phones, earpieces, fake calculators, smart watches, hand signals, mass bathroom breaks and at least one diversionary fake fainting episode, according to documents attached to a Faculty Senate report.
