Dartmouth provost who warned of AI cheating resigns over undisclosed AI use
Ars Technica AI · rss · 2026-10-31
Dartmouth provost Santiago Schnell once warned about AI cheating in academia in a Washington Post op-ed—then resigned after a committee found he failed to disclose significant AI use in that very op-ed and an academic paper, despite publisher disclosure requirements.\n\nThe report described his cooperation as "insufficient": he handed over his Dartmouth laptop but refused to share logs from personal LLM accounts or meet with the committee. His Dartmouth Claude enterprise account showed he used the LLM to revise papers, fix code bugs, and edit or generate figures.
