If a student at an educational institution submits someone else's work
as his own, the consequences are usually far more severe than just not
getting the certificate at the end. In many cases, they include an
invitation to leave the institution, and a note in the student's
record that will probably be disclosed to any other educational
institutions he later applies to.

This is usually true *if* the faculty member in question cares to
pursue it, which can be a large investment in time and effort.
At Stanford, for example, it requires writing up a detailed
report, submitting it to a committee, and attending at least one
in-person committee hearing. If the student challenges the
committee's decision, it can take a lot more time and effort than
that. In one case that I saw pursued while I was at Stanford, it
took two full academic quarters before the committee's action was
final.
