Summary

Princeton University, a century and a half old institution, is introducing proctors for in-person exams starting July, marking a significant shift from its unproctored tradition. The change comes as a response to the rise in academic dishonesty due to AI tools and gadgets, with nearly 30% of seniors admitting to cheating. The new measure aims to alleviate the pressure on students to report each other and maintain the integrity of the Honor Code. This move reflects a broader trend in higher education, as institutions grapple with the implications of AI on academic honesty and the value of degrees.
