Micheal D. Smith the faculty of Arts and Science Dean of one of the world's most famous University Harvard University passed out a campus-wide email on Friday telling the Harvard community that students who were found cheating during their examination have been asked to stay away from the institution for a period of sometime.About 60 of the alleged students have been asked to withdraw from the school for sometime,this came after months of investigation which revealed

some students cheated from a spring semester government course titled “Introduction to Congress” after a teaching assistant noticed that some students had given identical answers on a take-home test. Some of the students has received that punishment during the falls,others were notified in late December,the school authority had said.

other reports had shown that AT LEAST 100 CASES OF TEACHERS CHEATING ON STANDARDIZED TESTS SINCE 2006,while speaking further on the matter the Dean wrote in the emails "This is a time for communal reflection and action,We are responsible for creating the community in which our students study and we all thrive as scholars."

Harvard Undergraduate Council President Tara Raghuveer,while adding his thought on the issue said, "The students who are implicated in this scandal from last spring still need to be recognized as members of our community ... They shouldn't feel alienated from Harvard,This was an unfortunate incident. Students are being punished accordingly."

Micheal Smith said that the college would now concentrate on new ways to help the college live up to its famous motto,which is "Honesty".
