People are people. Every school has cheating scandals. Hopefully these folks learn from their mistakes. I work at the Naval Academy and we have this type of thing occasionally. Lots of pressures on kids today. Cheating has been going on since the beginning of time and will go on for the rest of time.

Indeed, we have an ideal list of future felons.

Congress is slime.

Period.

Hopefully, we can deal with them in an appropriate manner following CW-II.

That’s not fair. They were just trying to play the part of a politician. Probably thought they could get extra credit.

faced possible charges of plagiarism as they turned in strikingly similar answers for assignments for their course

Oh, it must have been the chapter where they studied Slow Joe Biden. The were perfect. Plagiarism and stupidity thinking the prof wouldn't notice the similarities.

Joe is probably grinning ear to ear!

You mean it doesn’t count for extra credit? I don’t understand.

Widespread cheating would be excellent preparation for a career in Congress.

more than half of the students brought before the school's Administration Board in the fall were required to withdraw for some period of time.

Apparently they weren't expelled. They were only suspsended.

They can't come back until they complete a course on "How To Cheat Without Getting Caught".

One would have thought that in order to get accepted to Harvard these days, that such a course would have been required in High School.

well... with a admitted drug addict as president and a vice president that is a plagiarist... I think what the kids did was par for the course.

“Harvard students withdraw after cheating in ‘Intro to Congress’ course”

“...more than half of the students brought before the school’s Administration Board in the fall were required to withdraw for SOME PERIOD OF TIME.”

Then they didn’t “withdraw”, they will sit out some time. BIG DIFFERENCE, and the headline annoys me because it makes it sound like these bastards were actually going to punished. But they won’t. They’ll be back, and even careful readers of their transcripts in the future will be met with a cover story of taking a year or two off to “care for my sick grandmother”, or something like it.

What a scam.

Intro to Congress? Can’t pass until they cheat on their significant other.

Isn’t cheating a prerequisite for Intro to Congress?

somewhat more than half of the Administrative Board cases this past fall required a student to withdraw from the College for a period of time. Of the remaining cases, roughly half the students received disciplinary probation, while the balance ended in no disciplinary action.

Three groups there: Required to withdraw - Disciplinary probation - No disciplinary action.

I wonder whether there are common identifiers for each of those groups...of course, we'll probably never know.

I can add nothing to this thread. Every thought that came to me has been already said.

Ain’t FR a great place to be?!!

Cheating on a course of Introduction to Congree?

Every one of the cheaters should receive a straight A.
