Dartmouth provost resigns following accusations he used AI for writing
Dartmouth provost Santiago Schnell has resigned after a faculty committee found he used AI to shape his writing, including a Washington Post guest column on AI cheating. Schnell said he used ChatGPT to refine arguments and improve clarity, but the committee found he was not forthcoming about his AI use. The case matters because it sets a transparency standard for university leaders at a moment when campuses are still deciding how AI may be used in academic writing.
