Dartmouth provost steps down after review finds undisclosed AI use in his op-eds
_akpiper · x · 2026-10-29
Dartmouth College provost Santiago Schnell resigned after a faculty-led review found his AI use violated the university's code of ethical conduct.
- The disclosures came from student paper The Dartmouth and Semafor, which flagged an August Washington Post commentary — about responsible AI use on campuses — as AI-written, plus op-eds in the New York Times
- Schnell apologized, claiming AI was limited to "language refinement, copy editing, improving clarity and organization"; the committee disagreed
- Observers note most peer-reviewed work now uses AI, and institutions urgently need formal lines between acceptable and unacceptable use
