Ivy league schools , imho, tend to operate differently--more hands-off approach. The assumption is if you're smart and determined enough to get in, that you will not cheat. The filtering to get in is intense, so this presumably filters out less honest people.

"Presumably" doing a lot of heavy lifting.

The only possible reason for a school like Princeton that is drowning in cash to not proctor exams is to allow students to cheat.

Also: admissions at all these schools are heavily biased toward wealthy legacy hires, regardless of talent, and the "most determined" are the most likely to cheat.

What's next, claiming the wealthy don't steal?
