by the way, also states evidence of cheating at USC, LLU, and NYU. man, all these scandals lately (UMDNJ, UNLV), does anyone actually do work in d-school anymore?
the story in LA times states involvement of NYU, but that is untrue.. the source was UCLA officials who stated that ada was investigating them, usc, llu, and nyu...we received an email today from dean bertolami :
"LA times story stated that the American Dental Association is investigating allegations of cheating by at least a dozen UCLA students as well as students from USC, Loma Linda University and New York University,
UCLA officials said. The students were alleged to have improperly obtained questions to a test that is a step toward fulfilling qualifications for a license to practice dentistry."
New York University and its College of Dentistry are deeply disturbed that the
LA Times ran this claim without seeking any comment from NYU or, apparently, confirmation from the ADA.
The facts are these:
º NYUCD has received no notice about or information about any such investigation.
º We have been in touch with Dr. Laura Neumann, the Senior Vice President of
the ADA, who would be responsible for any such investigation. She told me that
NYUCD is not under investigation.
º I have also been in touch with UCLA's Dean, who also indicated that he had no
knowledge of NYU being under investigation and cannot explain our presence in
the story.
We have written to the LA Times reporter asking for a retraction of this portion
of the story and an explanation of how this false assertion came to be in the
paper."
