Ted Kennedy got caught paying another student to take a test.

It was Teddy's friend Bill Frate who aced a Spanish exam for him and then got recognized when he handed in the blue book with Teddy's name on it. It was a favor suggested by mutual friends. No money changed hands. Kennedy and Frate were both expelled within the hour. It was 1951. Both students were allowed to return to Harvard later and went on to graduate, Frate in 1954, and Kennedy in 1956, after a stint as a military policeman in Paris.
