It seems some professors and other SIU staffers haven't successfully completed (surprise, surprise) a mandatory online ethics test.
From the Chicago Sun-Times:
The president of the school's faculty association said 65 teachers and 190 other SIU employees are being scolded by state investigators for their performance on an online ethics training course required for all state workers.
The problem wasn't their scores on the 10-question, multiple choice test. It was that they spent too little time reviewing the subject matter before taking the quiz, according to the Illinois Executive Inspector General's Office. The "noncompliant" employees have until January 19 to sign a document that says they could lose their jobs if they fail to complete future ethics training.
On average, it took a little more than 30 minutes for about 160,000 state workers to finish the ethics training program. But some -- including the SIU professors -- plowed through it in less than 10 minutes.
"It's not humanly possible" that they read and comprehended the information in such a short amount of time, said Deputy Inspector General Gilbert Jimenez. He added that "we're wondering" if a cheat sheet helped some of the quick studies.
