Toronto Star Senior Writer Janet Hurley recently reviewed the tribunal hearings into academic integrity at the University of Toronto to explore the types of academic dishonesty students attempt to engage in. While many postsecondary professionals are combatting AI-assisted cheating, Hurley notes that “old-school fraud” like using cellphones during exams and hiring writers to ghostwrite assignments and exams are still prevalent. Hurley summarizes several cases of fraud described in the tribunal hearing decisions and the resulting sanctions that students faced: marks of zero, suspensions, and notations on academic records.
