The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, facing the worst cheating scandal since 1976, has expelled at least eight cadets and is holding 51 back a year.
The Army’s military academy investigated 73 cadets who were suspected of cheating on a freshman calculus exam in May. The exam had been administered virtually because of the coronavirus. All but one of those involved were plebes (freshmen) and one was a sophomore. All of the students made the same mistake on the calculus exam.
Fifty-two of the cadets in the cheating scandal were athletes. Several of whom were on the football team that played in the Liberty Bowl, according to a West Point spokeswoman. However, West Point said none of the 52 are now representing the school on athletic teams because of this situation.
Mark Harrington II is the team’s alternate.
The team has been rigorously training for Sandhurst by conducting dismounted foot marches, weight training, running, and individual and group skills training, said Lt. Col. Mark Barton, the professor of military science for Austin Peay’s ROTC program.
‘Tenacity and grit of future military leaders’
The U.S. Military Academy has hosted the competition since 1967, and it has grown to include teams from across the country and the world. The competition takes the cadets through a rigorous 36-hour course “to test warrior spirit, team cohesion and dedication to mission accomplishment.”
The course covers 16 events across 27 miles and tests individual and squad military skill mastery.
