What happened
Dartmouth College provost Santiago Schnell resigned after an advisory committee found he failed to disclose significant AI use in an academic paper and a Washington Post op-ed about AI cheating. Investigators accessed his Dartmouth enterprise Claude account and found he used the model to revise papers, fix code, and generate figures without required publisher disclosures.
