We have spotted quite a few students using generative AI in their essays this summer and applied standard academic misconduct proceedings, though in most cases the work was so bad they would've failed anyway.

Today I learned of one whose use was sufficiently extensive that they will fail their degree.

I am wondering if this is *the first time a student has failed a whole degree for using AI*? Would love to hear about other cases. If you want to tell me in confidence, my Session ID is in my Bio

@tomstoneham I mean - fundamentally, are they failing for using AI? Or are they failing because they haven't demonstrated the competencies or learning objectives that their essays/portfolio were giving them a chance to demonstrate?

We also give them written and oral opportunities to explain why the text they produced has the appearance of being plagiarism.
