Princeton faculty mandate proctoring for in-person exams, upending 133 years of precedent
www.dailyprincetonian.com
The faculty voted Monday to require universal proctoring for all in-person examinations in response to mounting concerns over AI-assisted cheating and declining student reporting of Honor Code violations. The policy, which takes effect July 1, preserves the student-run Honor Committee system while requiring instructors to serve as witnesses.

    The biggest concern I have for these crackdowns is how uncalibrated the exams and material now are. When a significant portion of the student body cheats, the exam difficulties are pushed up, and the study/teaching material gets worse in quality.

    The result is anyone not cheating is put at a disadvantage, and if you roll this out suddenly across the classes, you’re probably gonna fail a bunch of people.
