Excited to reconnect with people at #LLTLC2026. I am also facilitating sessions this year. The first session is an interactive panel discussion about Communities of Practice with my colleagues from the Lab & Design Community of Practice. We hope to see you at 1:00 pm in room 314A of the Illini Union.

Stanford and Princeton are moving back to proctored exams and blue books. The reason: finished work alone no longer reliably shows what students learned. AI detector tools have false-positive risks and can't anchor misconduct cases, so universities are instead tracking process—drafts, oral defenses, revisions. A shift in what counts as evidence.
Stanford and Princeton are returning to proctors and blue books as AI makes finished assignments weaker proof of learning. Detector scores carry false-positive and due-process risks, pushing universities toward drafts, oral defenses and process evidence.
Graduates at UCF and University of Arizona booed speakers discussing AI this spring. Gallup data shows 43% of young Americans now see 2025 as a good time to find work nearby—down from 75% in 2022. The reactions suggest real anxiety about automation's effect on early-career prospects.

The post truth future, you know the future many in #academia and #HigherEd, including #librarians who should know better, are rushing to embrace.

Yikes.
I know a few #HigherEd #tech administrators that'll be sweating about this... And they're not done mopping up the #Canvas mess.
