May 4, 2013 at 13:41	comment	added	Mitch		@tchrist: sure, that's a good cultural observation, but there is a term in Japanese, and since there are bizarre situations for which there are words in English, the OP could reasonably expect a term.

It is dishonest in the extreme, and doing so in a university framework is especially deserving of severe chastisement, because it subverts the entire reason for being in school. We do not need new words for old evils — unless one perhaps wish to cloak said evil in some dismissive euphemism, as though it didn’t matter that you were a cheat. Whatever happened to “We will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does”? This is all three.
