On Sunday, Dallas News published an article revealing that the Justice Administration and Leadership master’s program has been giving police officers A’s for classes that they did not attend at UTD. This bombshell report left many questions about what exactly happened, who is responsible, and who in the administration knew about it. Ordinarily, as a public institution, the school would be required to release this information under open records laws, but school officials have found a loophole to avoid that. The reputation of the university is at stake here. If administrators refuse to take decisive action to rectify this wrongdoing, the students and faculty of UT Dallas must demand that they do so. At this point, the only way for the school to regain the trust of its students is through full transparency. UT Dallas must release the full report on the academic fraud that took place in the Justice Administration and Leadership master’s program.
