Report: More than 60 Harvard students faced academic dishonesty charges
More than 60 students from an introductory computer science class at Harvard University faced academic dishonesty charges last semester, according to a report from The Harvard Crimson.
That’s roughly ten percent of the students enrolled in the fall computer science class. The students appeared before the school’s Honor Council, a group of students, faculty, and administrators tasked with enforcing the university’s Honor Code.
In Harvard’s student handbook, ‘academic dishonesty’ includes plagiarism, copying work from another source or student, submitting the same school work to more than one course, or selling academic notes and papers, among other actions.
The council makes recommendations for consequences for students, which can range from probation to permanent dismissal from the college.
