Student cheating has been rampant in Australian Universities for decades. Plagiarism, bribery, sexual favours, and ghost writing has be more common than the student's own work. When my Head of School told me to pass a number of Asian Students because they "pay enough money" and I refused, which led to a "Kangaroo Court" finding me unsuitable to retain my Tenured Lecturing position. As I am an independent person I returned to running my own Small Business.
