Why Would Students Choose Cheating over Learning?

What are his thoughts on the fact that two hundred cheaters in his class of six hundred presumably felt that they could benefit more by passing the class than by learning from it? It seems fair to assert that Quinn and his university sowed the seeds for this type of blatant disregard for the honor system by failing to create a "community devoted to learning." When at least one-third of all students are proven offenders, it is the environment and not the individual that must explain itself.
