> Is that really worth expelling a student over?

What do you mean by this. What is the cost of one university expelling a liar? There is only benefit.

I am talking about a school like Princeton here. Not a for-profit degree mill.

The school with only honorable students is the most valuable school, all else being equal. All your students will be practically guaranteed jobs.

How much cheating is acceptable, from your wife? Do you have a sliding scale of punishment? I’d be curious to learn from you. Penalty for kissing another man. Penalty for touching another man. Etc.

What is the cost to the student?

And you seem to have immediately glossed over the part where not all of these students are, in fact, lying, or cheating.

Where on earth do you get that idea?

No one in the corporate world really cares if you cheated on your exams. Plenty of them would brag about doing the same. They care about the piece of paper, and not much else, from the schooling itself. (They do care about what experience you have. In fact, they'd love it if, as 22-year-old college graduate, you have 15 years of experience!)

I don't feel like going too much into my personal life with someone like you, but oh boy, buddy, did you pick the wrong person to try that "gotcha" on X-D

Just about everything. That is honor and dishonor. It’s a fall from polite society. It’s not a reprimand.
