Western University Associate Professor Jacob Shelley has indicated that he will not use the results of a final exam that he says nearly 300 students cheated on, reports the London Free Press. Shelley said that there were several signs that students had cheated, including references to content the course did not cover and discrepancies between scores on the multiple-choice and written sections. Shelley said he is concerned that Western’s policies do not prevent cheating and that there is no “real attempt” to address the situation. “Western takes all measures to promote academic integrity and investigates all suspected instances of academic dishonesty in accordance with established procedures,” said Western Communications Director, Stakeholder Relations Alison Springate.
