Chemistry TA fails test

In reading The Lantern the other day, there was an article about a Chemistry TA giving her students unfair advantages and unearned grades. Her situation was a basic Nash Equilibrium; she was allowing her students to excel with very little work, and her students simply had to "entertain" the notion of doing some work and they received excellent marks. This strategy failed her in the long run. Instead of forming a cartel with a select group of students to manage the risks, she attempted to apply this model to the entire class. Leaving a paper trail of emails and graded papers, she was caught and is now facing termination and removal from pharmacy school. She should have kept her mouth shut and let a good thing go, but those who read the Lantern know that didn't happen.
