University cheats face jail under brutal new law

This type of “contract cheating” is becoming commonplace in many Australian universities, with a range of easily accessed services offering to complete assignments or sit an exam for money.

“Cheating is wrong and the Morrison Government is targeting the people who are making money exploiting Australia’s students,” Mr Tehan said. Some services offer as little as $30 for an assignment to be completed and there are numerous websites advertising these types of deals. TEQSA will also be given authority to seek Federal Court injunctions to prevent access to domestic and international websites promoting cheating services.

Though payment is common place in these types of deals, there doesn’t have to be money exchanged for it to be considered contract cheating.

Chinese.
