Turns out a bathroom break isn't just a time to do your business and get pithy bits of wisdom (NSFW for language) anymore. Rather than find the answers to life's great questions in the bathroom stalls, some students at the Syracuse University College of Law decided that it was an even better idea to find some answers for their final exams.
According to Glenn Coin of The Post-Standard, those students were eventually flushed out, and the university took measures to plug the cheating leaks by limiting students' ability to, ahem, take a leak during their final exams.
While on a bathroom break, Coin writes, law students would use their cell phones, look at papers or write notes into their exam supplements. As a result, school officials have limited students to just one bathroom break per test, which can sometimes last up to four hours.
Bad news for people who've decided to down three Red Bulls that morning, I imagine.
The school is also hiring more proctors to supervise exams, inspecting bathrooms before and during exams, and reviewing computer logs to see if students have changed their answers.
i'd wear a diaper to the exam as a protest. just crap my pants right there. i wouldn't miss any time on the exam, and those around me would probably do poorly as a result. the ultimate in "gunner chiq," no?
