HARVARD: DOZENS DISCIPLINED OVER EXAM CHEATING
BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University said Friday it issued academic sanctions against approximately 60 students who were forced to withdraw from school for a period of time in a cheating scandal that involved the final exam in a class on Congress, drawing criticism from a high-profile alumnus.
The school implicated as many as 125 students in the scandal when officials first addressed the issue last year.
The inquiry started after a teaching assistant in a spring semester undergraduate-level government class detected problems in the take-home test, including that students may have shared answers.
In a campus-wide email Friday, Faculty of Arts and Sciences Dean Michael D. Smith said the school’s academic integrity board had resolved all the cases related to the cheating probe.

As Breitbart might have said, “So?”
Harvard lost its pedigree back when they began sweeping the streets for minority students.

For years, all students at Harvard and other Ivy leagues have been graded on an affirmative action curve to make their students look smarter with high GPA’s. Cheating just makes it easier on the teacher.

They were cheating in a class on Congress? The correct answer to any question on the Congress test is “He/she is a self-centered, greedy, egotistical, dimwitted, lying bastard and acted accordingly.”
There, you all get an “A.”

Harvard gives take-home exams? The dumbing down of Harvard is complete.

I like how they said that about half the cheaters were made to withdraw “for a period of time” which is “usually 2 to 4 semesters”.
All of them will be back by next semester. Guaranteed.
And how stupid do you have to be to cheat on a take-home test, much less get caught??!!

Why in the world would anyone at Harvard have to cheat?
For pity’s sake, Ted Kennedy graduated!
