Sounds like they've got bright futures ahead of 'em: Harvard Investigates "Unprecedented" Academic Dishonesty Case:
Harvard College’s disciplinary board is investigating nearly half of the 279 students who enrolled in Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress" last spring for allegedly plagiarizing answers or inappropriately collaborating on the class’ final take-home exam.
Sounds like they... uh... learned the subject matter a little too well?

Yup, that was my immediate reaction when I saw that story today: "Seems to me like they were just getting in the spirit of the class."

Duh. I thought Harvard had smart people. Of COURSE they collaborated and plagarized. I'd penalize a student for not doing it in a class and test like that.

This too. I didn't think take-home exams were even permissible at that level of play.
