The students have been notified that they are suspected and will be called to give their accounts in investigative hearings. 学校官方称，在选修该课程的250多名学生中，有近半数的人在接受哈佛学院行政委员会(Harvard College Administrative Board)的调查，并且如果他们被证实确有作弊，将可能被迫休学一年。校方已告知这些学生他们被怀疑作弊，并将要求其参加调查听证会，进行供述。 Elise Amendola/Associated Press 位于马萨诸塞州坎布里奇哈佛大学的一个大门。 “This is unprecedented in its scope and magnitude,” said Jay Harris, the dean of undergraduate education. 哈佛大学本科教育教务主任杰伊·哈里斯(Jay Harris)表示， “此次事件涉及范围之广，影响之大，前所未有。” Administrators would not reveal the name of the class or even the department, saying that they wanted to protect the identities of the accused students.
