Today a Dartmouth student publishes an op-ed calling for this provost to go. And yet still crickets from Dartmouth’s president. Not even a “we’re investigating.” Every minute that passes is a message to these students who’ll populate finance & gov: “reputation matters more than right & wrong.”
The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”
