Dartmouth's provost warned us about AI cheating—but his own AI use cost him his job

Dartmouth College provost Santiago Schnell resigned after an advisory committee found he failed to disclose significant AI use in an academic paper and a Washington Post op-ed. The committee found that Schnell used the LLM Claude to revise papers, find and fix code bugs, edit or generate figures, and even to generate referee reports. Schnell claimed he used AI as an editorial aid and discussion partner, but the committee found his cooperation to be insufficient.
