"Princeton University will begin proctoring all in-person exams starting this summer, ending a 133-year tradition of unproctored testing under its honor code."
"According to a letter from Princeton dean Michael Gordin, viewed by The Wall Street Journal, the change arose after "significant numbers" of students and faculty encouraged it, "given their perception that cheating on in-class exams has become widespread.""
"Gordin wrote that AI has made academic dishonesty far more accessible while also obscuring the usual telltale signs of cheating. He noted that students are reluctant to flag suspected cheating for fear of retaliation from their classmates. When students raise concerns anonymously, it often leaves administrators with too little information to follow up."
"Under the new rules, professors will sit in on exams, note any suspected violations and pass those cases along to the student honor committee to rev"
Princeton University will begin proctoring all in-person exams starting this summer, ending a no-proctor policy tied to its honor code. The change follows concerns that cheating on in-class exams has become widespread, especially as AI makes academic dishonesty more accessible and harder to detect. Students may hesitate to report suspected cheating because of fear of retaliation from classmates. Anonymous reports can also leave administrators with insufficient information to investigate. Princeton previously relied on student-run honor enforcement without outside monitoring, with a signed pledge intended to provide protection. Under the new approach, professors will observe exams, document suspected violations, and refer cases to the student honor committee.
