Free Shoes University Keeps NCAA Officials Busy
An internal investigation at Florida State University has led to university and NCAA action against almost two dozen athletes for academic misconduct, the Tallahassee Democrat reports. The students in question play seven varsity sports. None are from men's basketball or baseball or have competed in a football game this season (phew).
The six-month investigation revealed that a number of students had received "improper academic assistance" when an athletic department employee provided or directed players to answers for online quizzes. Each of the student-athletes was enrolled in the same online course.
With memories reignited of the infamous 1993 Foot Locker scandal involving a shopping spree by seven FSU football players, the university president's understated response was nothing less than curious: "You could make a pretty good case that the faculty did not do a very good job of protecting the integrity of the test."

hi
hi every one .. I want to know some thing. Which is that how to increases our own website pr . My site is that http://www.penisenlargementy.com
It is just an example od the academic misconducts in FSU
From this event, the irresponsibility to keep the academic integrity in this university is obvious.
The reason of this irresponsibility is that the administration or partial of the faculties got the benefits from this misconduct!
I am accusing a professor in the college of engineer at FSU who plagiarized my published paper as his own in his publication. The professor also submitted my patents and published research results to apply for research funding but meliciously excluded the principle inventor, me.
However, FSU is trying to cover up this misconduct by double policy and by retaliation. I am still fighting to ask the FSU to do serious investigation based on its published policies and the common academic ethic standard and the law.
It is the most dirty thing that a university does not care to protect student's rights. It should be the worst crime that "take student's advantage by faculty members or the university itself!
