Sadly, yes. Yes it does. Wash U had to kick out a handful of students every year for plagiarizing. People who are professionals plagiarize - academics get caught plagiarizing. I know of a paper from the past few months where it happened.
The higher the stakes, the more some people are tempted to cheat. Although then I suppose we could then make an argument that cheaters will try regardless, but perhaps if they hear they'll get kicked, it'll give some a pause.
