I wonder what Harvard's reaction will be if one of them commits suicide and publicly cites Harvard's rejection?

If they valued it that much, they should have respected Harvard a bit more before jumping into the social media muck.  If a theoretical suicide concern was the threshold for these decisions there would be no ability to hold people to any standard because that hypothetical worst case would be worse than the intended punishment and the infraction in almost all cases.

Can you imagine an appeal with your thought as the foundation?
"Don't kick me out of school....or...or I will commit suicide and blame you."
Doubt that would be a very persuasive appeal. 

I would think those that elect to keep living will work hard to imply they weren't one of THOSE 10 at all.
"I just decided the University of South Dakota was really my true dream school."  ;)
