Students in Harvard Cheating Scandal Ordered to Withdraw
Some others receive probation
In an apparent disclosure about the Harvard cheating scandal, a top university official said Friday that more than half of the Harvard students investigated by a college board have been ordered to withdraw from the school.
In an e-mail to the Harvard community, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Michael D. Smith wrote that more than half of the students who were brought before the university's Administration Board this fall were required to withdraw from for a period of time.
Of the remaining cases, approximately half the students received disciplinary probation, while the rest of the cases were dismissed.
