    From Tragedy to Betrayal: Lessons from the Brown Cheating Scandal

    Send Us a Text or Voice Message! It's easy to toss blame around in considering Brown University Professor Roberto Serrano's discovery of mass cheating in his course "Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory." He had tried to be compassionate, after the tragic campus shooting that had devastated the entire community, so he offered a take-home exam, only to be faced with the betrayal of dozens of students. Was this a professor who should have done better, a failure of student conduct staff or students who lack a moral center? There are more questions than answers we should all be asking ourselves in this case, and we hope you're join the conversation and reflection.  Brown University Cheating Resources: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty/learning-assessment/2026/07/08/brown-professor-suspects-most-his-class-used-ai-cheathttps://www.chronicle.com/article/the-ivy-league-cheating-scandal-no-one-wants-to-talk-aboutSupport the show Ms. Behavior Blog and Website Contact us at MsBehaviorCollege@gmail.com Follow us for updates: YouTube Channel Instagram: @MsBehaviorCollege LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ms-behavior-podcast FB Page: Ms. Behavior Threads: @MsBehaviorCollege Tik Tok: @MsBehaviorCollege Theme music "Fuzzball Parade" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/  The views and opinions expressed by participants in Ms. Behavior are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views, policies, or positions of their employers or affiliated institutions.
