   CHEATING IS FUCKING CHEATING!  OBAMA IS A FUCKING HARVARD   
   CHEATER!  LOOK AT THE FUCKING MESS HE'S MADE OF THE COUNTRY!   
   THE FUCKING NIGGER SHOULD RESIGN FOR LYING TO GAIN FEDERAL   
   EMPLOYMENT!   
      
   (Reuters) - As many as 60 students have been forced to withdraw   
   from Harvard University after cheating on a final exam last year   
   in what has become the largest academic scandal to hit the Ivy   
   League school in recent memory.   
      
   Michael Smith, Harvard's Dean of the Faculty of Arts and   
   Sciences, sent an email on Friday saying that more than half of   
   the students who faced the school's Administrative Board have   
   been suspended for a time.   
      
   Roughly 125 undergraduates were involved in the scandal, which   
   came to light at the end of the spring semester after a   
   professor noticed similarities on a take-home exam that showed   
   students worked together, even though they were instructed to   
   work alone.   
      
   The school's student newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, has   
   reported that the government class, Introduction to Congress,   
   had 279 students enrolled.   
      
   "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," Smith wrote. "Of the remaining cases, roughly   
   half the students received disciplinary probation, while the   
   balance ended in no disciplinary action."   
      
   The cases were resolved during the fall semester, which ended in   
   December, Smith said. Suspensions depend on the student, but   
   traditionally last two semesters and as much as four semesters.   
      
   In the last few months, the university has also worked to be   
   clearer about the academic integrity it expects from students.   
      
   "While all the fall cases are complete, our work on academic   
   integrity is far from done," Smith added.
