FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Some faculty at North Dakota State University want to create a list of students found guilty of cheating.

Faculty who support the idea say they have no way of knowing if a student they are dealing with has a history of cheating elsewhere on campus.

Nearly two-thirds of faculty who participated in a recent poll say they want NDSU to establish a registry for academic dishonesty.

Others say the idea seems like a black list, and they worry how it would affect students who learn from their mistakes.

Psychology professor Jim Council plans to bring the idea to the NDSU Senate in January.
