Ron Vasquez is registered to sit for the CFA Level II exam. Unfortunately, Vasquez has failed the exam the past two years. In his frustration, Vasquez posted the following comment on a popular internet bulletin board: “I believe that CFA Institute is intentionally limiting the number of charterholders in order to increase its cash flow by continuing to fail candidates. Just look at the pass rates.” Which of the following statements regarding Vasquez’s conduct is TRUE? Vasquez is: A. in violation of Standard VII(A), Conduct as Members and Candidates in the CFA Program, but not in violation of Standard I(D), Misconduct. B.in violation of Standard I(D), Misconduct, but not in violation of Standard VII(A), Conduct as Members and Candidates in the CFA Program. C. in violation of both Standard I(D), Misconduct and Standard VII(A), Conduct as Members and Candidates in the CFA Program. D. not in violation of Standard I(D), Misconduct or Standard VII(A), Conduct as Members and Candidates in the CFA Program.
C. Violates both?
No its not a violation , Answer should be ‘D’ .A candidate is free to express his/her opinion about the exam
I don’t think candidates are allowed to tarnish the image of the CFA Institute.
its a personal opinion and CFA Institute doesnt stop u frm doing that
Agree to D.
its D
Answer is D. Dude is free to say whatever sh*t he wants about the institute. (NOT SAY THAT Charterholders are superior)
Half the people on this board would be in trouble if it wasn’t D. I think they ripped off that comment from AF.
Speaking of laughing I was reading some very old forum posts, came across this: << *Mysterious “CFA” Cult Under International Scrutiny* Officials from Interpol, the FBI, CIA, CDC, Canadian Mounties, DEA, and Elvis Presley Enterprises have not commented on the phenomenon, in which practitioners, calling themselves “Candidates”, engage in a ritualistic self torture involving months of sleep deprivation, memorization of “ethics codes” imposed by the leaders of the movement, and total neglect of family, friends, and job responsibilities . . . >>
