125名哈佛本科生涉嫌考试作弊 校方展开调查

发布时间:2019-08-16  编辑:查字典英语网小编

Harvard University is investigating whether about 125 undergraduates "inappropriately collaborated" or copied answers on a spring semester take-home final exam, the school announced today.

It's being called the largest cheating scandal in recent memory to hit the elite university and the Ivy League.

The students -- about half the class -- violated a no-collaboration policy printed on the exam, which consisted of short questions and an essay, said Jay Harris, dean of undergraduate education, the Boston Globe reports. The students allegedly collaborated through e-mail or "other means," and some may have copied their answers.

The cheating was uncovered after faculty noticed similarities among a number of exams and referred them for administrative review. All will face hearings, and those found to have plagiarized may have to withdraw for a year.

The administrative board's actions are confidential, Harris said, and the identities of the students or the course will not be revealed.

"These allegations, if proven, represent totally unacceptable behavior that betrays the trust upon which intellectual inquiry at Harvard depends," Harvard University President Drew Faust said in the announcement. "We must deal with this fairly and through a deliberative process. At the same time, the scope of the allegations suggests that there is work to be done to ensure that every student at Harvard understands and embraces the values that are fundamental to its community of scholars."

【资讯快讯】

世界知名学府美国哈佛大学校方30日证实,大约百名该校本科学生涉嫌在上学期期末考试中作弊,校方已展开调查。据哈佛校刊报道,上学期期末有一门课程采取了可带回家完成的开卷考试模式,提交答卷的学生超过250人,结果教研人员在批卷时发现不少学生答卷有雷同内容,有交流答案或剽窃他人之嫌,参与者可能高达总人数近一半。

哈佛大学校长德鲁·福斯特30日表示,如果这些作弊行为经证明属实,将是不可接受的行为,有违哈佛大学对学术精神的坚守。一方面,校方必须公平慎重处理;另一方面,鉴于牵涉学生人数之多,校方也应进一步采取措施确保所有在校学生均能理解并恪守哈佛大学的基本准则。

该校本科生院院长杰伊·哈里斯说,所有涉嫌作弊的学生已逐个接受学校执行董事会下属委员会的问询和调查。但他强调,目前调查尚未完成,这些学生的作弊行为还未得到证实,而且没有任何证据显示作弊行为在哈佛大学广泛存在,不能以此质疑哈佛大学学生整体声誉。
