- if the student is guilty of cheating, then you have to prove that.
- Even if the matter doesn't wind up in court, shouldnt the same standard of
- justice and fairness apply to the university's conduct against the student?

- Forcing a student to retake an exam, when the professor or university
- can not otherwise *prove* the student's guilt, is arbitrary and unjust.
- It is not up to the defendant to prove his innocence! Perhaps you need
- to re-think some things here; I think you are losing sight of
- some fundamentals, in the process of solving a problem you face as a teacher.
