LEXINGTON, Va. (AP) The Virginia Military Institute has altered its ritual of expelling cadets by waking them up in the middle of the night to the sound of beating drums.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the school is no longer announcing the expelled students names during the so-called “drum outs.” The practice involves waking up the entire corps of cadets.
Two cadets were drummed out early Tuesday after they admitted to cheating on a math assignment, according to an email sent to students by the president of VMI’s student-run Honor Court. The difference was that the cadets were not identified as they would have been in the past.
