Thoughts on Academic Integrity in Math Courses

There's currently a shitshow in the Rutgers University community and the story goes a little like this:
>Final Exam for Math 135, an introductory calculus course
>Since students are taking classes at home, they take the test online
>Students end up using Chegg to share answers
>Professor finds out
>126 students caught and are being reported to academic integrity office
>Subreddit is an absolute shitshow
>The course professor posts in the subreddit (pic related), EVEN MAKING HIS OWN HATE THREAD for people salty at him.
Was does /sci/ think? Is cheating excusable just because it's a pandemic? Of all classes, why cheat in a freshman math class?
