Nearly 60 West Point cadets have admitted to cheating earlier this year on a math exam they took remotely because of the CCP virus pandemic, an official at the U.S. Military Academy confirmed.

A total of 73 cadets have been accused of cheating in the May exam, while 58 cadets have admitted to cheating, spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Ophardt said on Dec. 21.
