How many don't get caught??

I imagine there's a good bit of cheating at that level.

I wonder how they determine the proper punishment for cheating.

That probably depends on how much money their parents are paying for the school.

Even scholarship students?

Getting into schools like Harvard is the difficult part. These schools need to maintain their image so they'll often do anything to keep students from failing. The quality of education varies wildly because students can still scrape along with reasonable grades because if they drop out it will look bad and cost the university money and prestige.

This particular incident had to be so bad (100 students bad, apparently) that they would actually do something. All of those kids will end up coming back to school after their required withdrawal period and graduating like it never happened. If the school wasn't worried about their numbers (and probably some angry rich parents as well) they'd just eject these students permanently.

I agree. These students don't deserve to stay in Harvard, but they will.
