Horrifying. The Dartmouth med school faculty identifies 17 students they suspect as cheating. Nearly half of these they eliminate as false positives. Rather than grappling with the obvious unreliability of a methodology with at least a 50% false positive rate (from the NYT: “the use of Canvas in the cheating investigation was unusual because the software was not designed as a forensic tool”), they decide the remaining students must all be guilty.

To become a doctor in the U.S. requires an incredible amount of intelligence, hard work and personal sacrifice. To destroy the lives of these med students based on such an unreliable and unfair process is, in my opinion, a true injustice.
