Fran Cohen Quotations

Most students will look back years from now with fond memories of URI, and you don't want them to say to their children, 'boy did I cheat my way through URI,' and lower their integrity, and the university's.

I wouldn't blame or place fault on anyone, having honesty and integrity is everyone's' job.

I would expect there are students out there who rationalize that they cheated out of boredom with the class. That's like justifying a bank robbery, you can't.

There is an increasing problem on every campus. Five years ago, no one knew what electronic cheating was.

I think it's beginning to sink in. More and more faculty are reporting plagiarism.

It is all about making food that is especially interesting without being able to see it first. It affords guests the opportunity to explore another world, understanding something beyond what we know.

Breaking into a professors office to steal papers and tests is an example of a reason why a student would be expelled.

Students aren't knowledgeable, and are probably lazy and procrastinate, so they cheat. These are crimes based on a lack of knowledge. It's a terrible character trait to develop.
