  Success can mean different things for different people. For some, success may be a large salary and a nice car. For others, it may mean a well-fed and happy family. For college students, it means making good marks or passing grades in order to earn a degree.

  And there lies a slight difficulty with some college students. The way in which they achieve success may not always be that they earned it. Earning requires hard work, and most importantly, honesty. Some students cheat to simply gain success. On Aug. 30, news of the largest cheating scandal at Harvard University broke out. It is said on Thursday that the undergraduate class had a minimum of 250 students and possible cheating was discovered in roughly half the take-home exams.

  The investigation is still underway but consequences for those found guilty could range from a warning to a forced withdraw from the university for a year. And some of the undergraduates in the course were seniors, so the latter consequence could also mean giving back their degree and maybe even losing the jobs acquired after graduation. Although such consequences may have a harsh negative and possibly life-changing impact on some students’ lives, I believe it is entirely necessary to ensure that academic integrity(诚信) is a respected and necessary requirement for academic success.

  Harvard University is commonly thought of as the top of higher education. It is a name anyone would like to put on their resume. Although some one will admit to knowing the occasional student who found a way to cheat on an exam, the highest standards won’t give way to cheating.

  In a word where academic integrity is sometimes lost in the pursuit of making the dean’s list, take pride when you make the effort to do your best and honest work. Success achieved in any way is great, but success achieved honestly is the only success you can truly call your own.
