Multiple Harvard students, possibly more than 60, have been suspected of cheating in a wildly popular computer science course and had their cases referred to the college's Honor Council, a step that can lead to expulsion in the most extreme cases.
The review, first reported this week by The Harvard Crimson, said that more than 60 students — or about 10 percent of the course's 636 students — had appeared before the council. The course uses a multi-tier system that combines automated digital sleuthing and human follow-up to check for plagiarism.
