Schools nationwide are grappling with a surge in AI‑generated sexual deepfakes of students, a trend that is forcing administrators to rethink discipline, investigation and student-protection policies. Reporting highlights cases where manipulated images spread through social apps, prompting criminal charges, expulsions and traumatic consequences for victims. One particularly illustrative case involved a Louisiana middle school where AI‑generated nude images circulated; the victim who attacked a student showing the images was expelled while those accused of creating or sharing the content faced varying disciplinary and legal outcomes. Advocates say schools lack clear, technology‑specific protocols and are often behind the curve in evidence preservation and digital forensics. K‑12 and higher‑education leaders should review student‑safety policies, local criminal statutes, reporting pathways and partnerships with law enforcement. Counsel offices and student-conduct offices will need cross‑sector coordination on evidence collection, privacy protections and restorative supports.
