The problem is we don't enforce cheating standards enough. I have personally caught dozens of my fellow students cheating and plagiarizing and turned them in but to no avail. The professors and the administration are so scared of being sued. This tacit approval of cheating and dishonesty is a big disservice to the US colleges and universities.
As for Wikipedia, all my professors specifically and strictly forbade it and I agree with that policy. Are we that inept and lazy that we can no longer do research on our own?
I don't think it's extreme at all. She cheated. Maybe the expulsion of that student will serve as a warning and a wakeup call to the thousands of would-be cheaters who don't belong in college in the first place.
