My dad always tells this story from when he was at LSU in the early 80s. I assume it happened, but I can't confirm that he wasn't making it up.

He said he watched some guy sitting at a desk with his book open filling out the test sheet. A proctor just watched him the entire time. He finishes and walks up casually to turn in the exam. My dad says the exchange went like this:

Proctor: You don't think I am going to accept that test, do you?
Student: Do you know who I am?
Proctor: No, and I don't care who you are
Student: Good

He then puts his test in the middle of the stack, flips all the papers into the air, then runs out of the classroom. I would assume he got away with it as long as nobody snitched.

majority of time it just impacts your grade in that course
if severe enough I guess it could lead to more
noted above, most of the time it goes to the dean of students

they have that software that reviews papers now and kicks it out once you submit it online in moodle as well to prevent plagiarism

My father in law tells the same story from the same time frame. Either they were in the same class, or it’s an urban legend/joke that made the rounds around then

That happen in the 70s, early 80s, then again in the late 80s and the 90s.......

That story has been around the block bubba.

Didn't happen.
