Higher education is confronting a new class of agentic AI tools that promise to execute tasks—from drafting essays to managing schedules—on behalf of students. Coverage flagged a viral app that offered to complete coursework and prompted campus debates over academic integrity, assessment design, and faculty readiness. Colleges are reacting unevenly: some faculty draft course‑level AI policies, others ban tools outright, and many students and professors co‑author informal rules. Provosts and academic affairs leaders should prioritize clear, enforceable AI use policies, redesign assessments that test higher‑order skills, and invest in faculty development to manage agentic tools without stifling pedagogical innovation.
