Have you ever collaborated with another student on home- work that was assigned to you independently? Have you ever asked a friend in an earlier block what questions were on the exam before you walked into it? While it might not be the kind of cheating that pops into your mind when you think about the issue, it stands to rea- son that everyone has cheated at one point or another in his or her lives. Things like homework col- laboration, or trying to get a friend to spill the beans about your midterm so you can focus your studying in that direction are not necessarily considered ‘serious cheating.’ However, more serious methods of dis- honestly boosting grades are out there.

Oshawa has a plan. Council unanimously passed the Arts, Culture and Heritage Plan on Feb. 18.
