Just to be clear - this particular case apparently involved students in a large lecture hall that had allegedly started “clicking” each other in for attendance purposes -the 21st century equivalent of saying “here”, for a friend during roll call. (not that I would ever have done such a thing.)
One wonders if the professor, who so generously designed a class for “athletes that may have difficulty with an Ivy League workload”, had an inkling that this might happen. The headline “Dartmouth College accuses dozens of students of cheating in Sports, ETHICS and religion class” certainly has nice ironic touch to it
