> The students aren’t exactly cheating and if they are, can you blame them?

I don't understand this logic. Many of these students are telling lies and manipulating to get a benefit that wasn't designed for them. In many cases (such as housing priority selection) they're actively taking spots from students with genuine needs. How do you arrive at a conclusion that this isn't cheating?

And why can't we blame them for their own decisions and actions? The university isn't forcing them to do this.

> when extra test time can boost your grade point average, opting out feels like self-sabotage.

Cheating on exams can also boost your grade point average.

I find these attempts to shift blame to anyone but the people making the decisions to be illogical. Let's call it what it is: Many of these students found a way to lie and cheat for personal gain with low or zero chance of getting caught, so they're choosing to do it. It's their choice, though.

How would determine who has genuine needs? Many of these conditions have no definitive tests.
