I think that test banks are good because they help you see what material the professors thought were more important in previous years so you know what to focus more heavily on. This has happened to me so many times that I would spend a lot of time studying for one particular area on a test only to discover that there would only be line one or two questions on it.
As far as punishing the girls for it, it definitely shouldn't be done because it is an ex post facto law and is unconstitutional. I agree with those who think that it was made a big deal of because it happened to sororities, but I think that in this case, it made the school look worse than the sororities themselves. As the article said, most girls didn't even know that they were there, yet it gives off the impression that professors in that school do tend to recycle papers and don't even take the precautions to collect tests afterwards.
