Princeton in Shambles Over AI Cheating
Source ↗ 👁 1 💬 0
For 133 years, Princeton University allowed students to take their exams without a proctor — a unusual situation resulting from student demands for an “honor code.” Now in 2026, that time-honored system is coming to an end, all thanks to a surge of cheating enabled by AI.



First reported by the Wall Street Journal, the Ivy League university made the bombshell decision to scrap the honor system this week, after faculty voted to require in-person proctors starting over the summer.
