At the University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign professors say dozens of students submitted identical AI‑generated apology notes after allegations of cheating—an episode that has intensified campus debates about academic integrity and AI detection. Faculty reported identical language across multiple submissions, prompting investigations and renewed calls for clear classroom policies. Business schools and other professional programs are responding with formal guidance. Indiana University’s Kelley School published an AI Playbook and Dean Patrick Hopkins said faculty training is essential: “AI is the new Excel,” he told colleagues, urging faculty to model ethical use and redesign assessments. The playbook frames AI as an instructional tool that requires transparency, explicit learning goals and integrity safeguards. Takeaway: campuses are moving from ad‑hoc responses to formal governance—clarifying permitted AI uses, attribution expectations and assessment design to preserve academic standards while preparing graduates for AI‑enabled workplaces. "Playbook" style guidance helps standardize faculty practice but requires institutional support for training and monitoring.
