This accusation of widespread cheating at Harvard is a bit of a mess and is sounding more like an understanding than a blatant abuse of the rules. Yes, students might have gone beyond mere collaboration and cut some corners. But it also sounds like they got mixed messages from the professor and teaching fellows. At the end I hope leaders at Harvard focus on what is probably most important: Did each one of those students learn the material?
