TOKYO (AP) -

A prestigious university in Tokyo has failed 26 students for using e-mail functions on their cell phones to cheat on their e-commerce final exam, a university official said Thursday.

Professors became suspicious when identical answers, mistakes and all, showed up repeatedly on the final, taken by roughly 500 students in July, said Hitotsubashi University Vice President Takehiko Sugiyama.

He said one student is believed to have left the classroom during the exam and e-mailed answers to his classmates using his cell phone. Twenty-six students later admitted to cheating after performing poorly on a makeup exam, Sugiyama said.

The university decided not to suspended the 26, but they were failed on the test, Sugiyama said.

He said it was the first time Hitotsubashi has had to contend with cheating via e-mail.
