Nearly 100 cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado are being investigated after widespread cheating was discovered on a weekly knowledge test, which is a violation of the school's honor code.
Dozens of cadets "have admitted to either cheating or tolerating cheating" on the test and were punished, a news release from the school said. Those who admitted to the honor code violations "have received punitive sanctions and rehabilitation actions."
Honor code violations are overseen by the cadets themselves, Jeff Troth, an Air Force Academy spokesman, told Military.com, and punishments are issued by the students.
"We will not lie, steal or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to do my duty and to live honorably, (so help me God)," the Air Force Honor Code states.
