This is an utter goatrope from start to end, between clueless administrators and clueless IT department people who were clearly not qualified to do a proper forensic investigation. I won't and can't claim to know what's going on here from third-hand hearsay but it's clear that there's more moving parts than the university claims were involved (like the presence of a mysterious iPhone 5S, the activity that happened when the student was demonstrably not anywhere near a computer). The only conclusion I can see is that university IT departments should not be doing these kinds of investigations, between their lack of training/skill/knowledge and the very serious issues around conflicts of interest. Heck, for all we know, a guy in the IT department who illicitly changed grades for $$$$ was using her as a fall-guy/patsy -- having the IT department do a pseudo-forensic pseudo-investigation is a surefire way to prevent that sort of thing from coming to light.
