Harvard University has imposed academic sanctions on dozens of students for cheating in a final exam, a dean said in an email to students.
"More than half" of 125 students under investigation were asked to leave for a period of time; others face probation.
An inquiry began when a tutor noticed identical answers to a take-home exam for an undergraduate politics course.
The review expanded to include nearly half the 279 students enrolled in the course, the Harvard Crimson said.
Correspondents say there have been complaints that exam rules for the Introduction to Congress class were unclear, and over the university's handling of the investigation.
