60 Harvard students cheated on "Congress" final exam

Thought this might have been from The Onion when I first read it. Yes, it appears 60 Harvard students with an interest in Congress ... the class that is ... were caught cheating on the final exam. Were any of them named Biden?

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.

The nation's future leaders prepping to be politicians.

Ted Kennedy was booted out of Harvard in the 50's for cheating; but, good ole dad Joe's generous "donation" helped Harvard reconsider such a strict discipline on such a promising young man. Thankfully, their wisdom helped launch a stellar career of a drunk, philanderer, and the death of one of his lady companions while he covered his tracks. They teach you well at Harvard, I'll give them that much.

If going to Harvard is supposed to make you smarter, I know a couple of harvard grads who who forgot to adhere to that mantra.
Harvard grades make no difference as a politician. Check out all the Harvard grads and other ivy leaguers in politics and the media. Dumb is as dumb does.

giving a take home test and expecting students not to cheat? dumb.

Maybe I misunderstood the linked article, but I thought the final that they were caught cheating on was not a take home test. The take home test led to them getting caught though.
