"If students are compelled to cheat at the university level, then what?"

"If students are compelled to cheat at the university level, then what"... Hmm, they go to Harvard Law School?

Christine Probett is referenced as to people that use props to cheat, such as putting notes on the brim of baseball caps or writing notes on the inside of water bottle labels. IPBiz notes that the "printed bottle label with answers" technique already appeared on television.

The post also observes:

One of the most high tech cheating techniques is using your cell phone to take a picture of the test when the teacher is not looking, sending the picture to a friend to look up the answers, and then having your friend send the answers back to you, which happened at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 2003.

And honor codes arise:

Many universities, however, rely heavily on the use of honor codes and hope that students have enough integrity to abide by it, a New York Times article reports.

Hmmm, ask West Point about the success of honor codes.
