| Dear Associate, |
| While this issue of "Cheating in the News" is being delivered in close proximity to Valentine's Day, let me assure you that I've included no articles related to "that" type of cheating... only the good old fashioned academic kind. |
|
| This week's big story is the arrest of four Taiwanese citizens for selling IT certification questions and proxy test-taking. The group was discovered to have been soliciting customers via various Internet Web sites. |
|
| Happy Valentine's Day, and here are this week's stories. |
