No, I am

For those of you who aren't already Unfogged readers, and think that what this site needs is more in depth discussion of relatively minor ethical issues (I do in fact think this, though I'm probably the only one), head over to FL's post, "I am Randy Cohen." It's about a "hypothetical" dilemma on whether to turn in a student who cheated in a different Prof's class. I'd rather not reproduce my comments here, my concerns in brief were whether or not there's enough evidence to make the charge stick, whether there's enough discretion to avoid too extreme a punishment, and possible problems for the student who inadvertently informed FL.
