These Ivy Leaguers are real idiots.
The 125 Harvard undergrads who got caught cheating on a take-home test were found out in part because of sloppy typos and redundancies.
One of the dead giveaways was an extra space that turned “22,500” into “22, 500” that none of the accused bothered to fix.
That, along with an unusual reference to Kentucky Rep. Henry Clay and identically worded answers in others, tipped off Professor Matthew Platt, who sounded the alarm.
Platt at first suspected just 13 of the 279 students in the “Introduction to Congress” class, but a wider investigation revealed dozens more suspected cheats.
They include captains of the Harvard basketball team and members of the football team, according to reports.
The students accused of cheating have to face the Harvard College Administrative Board to account for their actions and could end up getting suspended from the elite school for a year on charges of academic dishonesty.
