Academic dishonesty should be put onto high shcool transcipts. Prospective Colleges have the right to know what type of student they are accepting. A GPA, ACT score, nor a personal essay can give them that information.

I believe that it should because students who cheat often do not stop after one time. Chronic cheating is a problem and shouldn't be ignored.

Dishonesty figures heavily into a person's character. There can be "circumstances", but it's a good thing for schools to know.
