60 Harvard University Students Suspended For Cheating

Around 60 students at Harvard University have been suspended and others disciplined in a mass cheating scandal at the elite college.

The scandal first became public in August when Harvard said that as many as 125 students were suspected of helping each other in a final exam.

The university said a large number of undergraduates “may have inappropriately collaborated on answers, or plagiarized classmates’ responses, on the final exam for the course.”

Harvard, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is one of the most exclusive universities in the world, with students paying about $63,000 (N9.7m) a year to attend after winning a place in a highly competitive admissions process.
