about student cheating needs to own this book. The combination of Tomar&#8217experience, his

very topics and is sure to generate productive discussions on campuses around the world.Jed
MacoskoProfessor of PhysicsWake Forest UniversityDave Tomar&#8217book on the pandemic of
academic cheating leaves no stone unturned. As a former, now reformed, &#8216prfessional
ghostwriter&#8217 his 13 revealing chapters and four appendices include discussions on his
experience as a onceshadow scholar, now reformed. An important chapter helps faculty detect the
problem early with a chapter on college &#8220adission essays.&#8221More likely than not, every
faculty member has had firsthand experience with papers submitted that are clearly not the work
of the &#8220tuent&#8221author. Tomar&#8217Complete Guide to Contract Cheating in Higher
Education is a superb resource for helping faculty detect cheating, with sections on the design,
deterrence, detection and diagnosis of this growing phenomenon. Tomar leaves no stone
unturned, no trick unexplained.Mary PoplinProfessor of Education and Transdisciplinary
StudiesClaremont Graduate UniversityDavid Tomar gave higher education his brave and
unblinking candor in revealing his own role years ago in contract cheating. Now he turns the
spotlight on &#8220Hiher Ed, Inc.&#8221and its many enablers, an industry that is often more
concerned about revenue stream and emoluments than the students it should serve. His
admonition to address writing deficiencies is sound, but even more important is the message to
look at the epidemic of academic dishonesty in the context of systemic dysfunction. We must not
ignore Mr. Tomar&#8217message.Michael PoliakoffPresident of ACTA (American Council of
Trustees and Alumni)
