Students on campuses are taking nonmedical stimulants that are sold or given away by those who have an actual prescription. The students that have the medications as young children are now bringing medications to college. There are also comparisons made to the use of these medication to those of illegal medications and which ones are more addictive. In addition, there are students that have learned to cheat the system and get their own prescription (Jacobs, 2005). There is one question that makes me ask, is it fair. The concern is not typically one related to health as it is to the fairness of classmates taking study enhancement medications (Jacobs, 2005). There are students that will not use performance-enhancement medications and are very vocal about his fact. Students will go as far as to say it is cheating and that it is problematic (Jacobs, 2005). When discussing the use of study enhancement medications, it could be a fair comparison to compare them to those used by athletes. Therefore, can study enhancement medications be a form of cheating (Cederström, 2016)? A new policy at Duke University says the answer is yes. " Unauthorized use of prescription medicine to enhance academic performance" should be treated as cheating" (Cederström, 2016).
