...questions are asked: Was the act of lying, cheating or stealing committed? Was the act committed willfully or intentionally? Would open toleration of such an act impair the community of trust sufficiently enough to warrant permanent dismissal from the university?

Some are as excited about discussing their sex life--or someone else's--as they are about letting you know where they found a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes for 50% off. But they will rarely reveal how they cut their credit-card debt, chose the mutual funds in their 401(k) or put a budget together after their divorce. Discussions about money and investing are "too personal," or at least they used...
