The idea of a “post‑plagiarism” university captures faculty attempts to classify AI use under existing misconduct rules even as students and instructors push for clearer policies and new assessment models. Business schools and governance bodies now face two tasks: equip graduates with applied AI skills while revising honor codes, assessment strategies, and faculty development to preserve learning outcomes.
