I think the real issue is being overlooked. (Score 1)

I think its alarming how many people feel that since the Univerity allowed the loophole to exist, the students did nothing wrong. Its this very mentality that is pevasive amoung young people that to me is the real issue. Did you know that if you find a wallet with identification in it, and you keep the money and the wallet you have committed a crime? Picking it up is legal, looking through it is legal, contacting the owner is legal, giving it to the police is legal, but keeping the money and items in the wallet is illegal. I am not using this as an analogy for someone geek figuring out a URL gives admission info, but rather an analogy of moral issues. The point I am making is that regardless of what you decided to do with the wallet, you didnt have to be told that keeping the money was wrong, you KNEW it would be WRONG before you did take it (if you chose to take it). I think that less and less this is true, people dont know when to KNOW its wrong. How many kids have said that they cheat in school because everyone else does it and they would be at a disadvantage if they didnt do it. The real problem here is that personal advancement takes priority over moral values and highground more often than not. I severly dislike Stanford University, yet I applaud there unwavering strictness in setting an example that dishonesty and ethical deviation will not be tolerated. Hopefully, Once this blows over they can get back to churning out corporate moral deviants like Condaleza Rice capable of lying to the faces of millions of people at a time. Good going stanford.
