The use of artificial intelligence (AI; including Large Language Models and related technologies) writing and research tools may or may not constitute academic dishonesty, depending on the rules for AI use established by the instructor of record. Any doubts about what constitutes appropriate use should be addressed to the instructor.

If you use AI to generate ideas, summarize texts, or get assistance with drafting, acknowledge this in your work when appropriate. Just as you would cite a book or a website, giving credit to AI where applicable helps maintain transparency.

b) For all work that a student submits for any form of academic credit, AI may not be used, whether with or without attribution, in a way that would constitute academic plagiarism if the AI were a human author whose work was used without attribution . Commentary: The crux of this policy, which applies in any context in which a student submits work for evaluation, is the application of existing academic integrity policies. Thus, some but not all uses of AI in preparing work to submit for a class would violate this default policy. Using AI to brainstorm ideas for a paper—akin to asking a search engine (like Google), professors, or professional contacts for

證據定位器: Law §4.9(1)(b); normalized extracted text; Unicode codepoints 7818:8480

suggestions—would not violate this default policy. Nor would using AI for proofreading. The principle here is that if AI is performing a task that other technologies (or people) currently perform, and such uses are not a violation of academic integrity, then those uses of AI do not violate the default policy. In contrast, using AI to compose part or all of a paper, or copying or paraphrasing output from AI and passing it off as one’s own writing, would violate this default policy. The same principle applies here: if AI is performing a task that other technologies (or people) currently perform, and such uses are a violation of academic integrity, then those uses of AI do

證據定位器: Law §4.9(1)(b); normalized extracted text; Unicode codepoints 8481:9159

violate the default policy. The default policy sweeps more broadly than a prohibition against academic plagiarism, however. A student cannot avoid limits on the use of AI that would otherwise apply by attributing their work to AI. It is not plagiarism to copy or paraphrase another’s work, so long as one properly cites that source. But under the default policy, the use of AI with or without attribution is compared to the use of a human-created source without attribution . Thus, using AI to compose all or part of a paper, even if the use of generative AI is fully documented in properly placed footnotes , is a violation of the default policy.

AI detectors, including Pangram, are not perfect, though research from Booth faculty Brian Jabarian and Alex Imas indicates that Pangram is the best tool available (Jabarian & Imas, 2025). Accordingly, instructors and the Office of College Community Standards may use Pangram as one source of supporting information in a transparent, human-led academic integrity process and to guide conversations with students suspected of inappropriate AI use. OCCS is available to assist instructors in interpreting and weighing the results of a Pangram analysis.

Particular schools, divisions, and programs may have specific policies or guidance on whether or how to use Pangram. In some areas of the College, instructors have individual discretion to set the rules about AI use in their courses and to decide whether to use Pangram. Not all instructors will choose to use Pangram.

The goal of the College disciplinary system is to ensure a fair and orderly process for fact gathering and decision-making regarding matters of possible student misconduct. In this undertaking, the OCCS, the Committee or the Subcommittee (as applicable) make no assumptions or presumptions, including about the credibility or culpability of the parties to the proceeding or witnesses. Neither the respondent nor the complainant bears the responsibility of proving or disproving allegations, and it is the role of OCCS, the Committee or Subcommittee (as applicable) to gather and/or evaluate information, apply an unbiased and transparent process, and determine by a preponderance

The accused student will be informed in writing by OCCS of the referral and the date and time of the College Area Disciplinary Committee meeting where their case will be resolved. In advance of the meeting, the accused student will be provided with a copy of all written material furnished to the Area Disciplinary Committee and will be allowed at least two business days to complete and submit a response to OCCS prior to the matter being heard by the Area Disciplinary Committee.

Students may bring a person of their choice to any disciplinary-related meetings with the Dean of Students in the College or the Director of OCCS (or designee) or have them attend and provide support during phone calls or other interactions related to the investigation and resolution of an incident. The student can also be accompanied by their support person to any proceedings and during the subcommittee meeting (see below). The support person may confer quietly with the student during the proceedings and offer advice and other support during breaks. The support person may also assist with the review and preparation of materials, although authorship of statements should

be the student’s alone. Support persons may not speak for the student during the proceedings and are not allowed to direct questions to the subcommittee members. Support persons should be aware that this is not a legal proceeding, and their role is not to provide zealous advocacy like that provided in a legal proceeding. If a support person violates the limitations regarding their role or engages in behavior or advocacy that harasses, abuses, or intimidates a witness, or an individual resolving the complaint, the support person may be required to leave the meeting or proceeding. Students should inform OCCS three to five business days before any proceedings if a support

When utilizing AI content generation software or other AI tools, students are required to appropriately acknowledge the use of these tools by citing the specific AI program(s) employed in their work in the bibliography or elsewhere on the assignment. Students should provide detail about how the AI was utilized – prompts used etc. Students should save the full original AI generated text as a separate file in case the instructor requests to see it. Failing to cite use of AI constitutes academic dishonesty.

In situations where an individual student has acknowledged responsibility for misconduct and the most likely outcome for that misconduct would be a sanction of warning or disciplinary probation if the Area Disciplinary Committee were to be convened, the area Dean of Students (or designee) may offer to resolve the allegation of misconduct administratively without referral to an Area Disciplinary Committee. In such matters, the area Dean of Students can propose the sanction of an official warning or place the student on disciplinary probation for a specified period of time (e.g., a quarter, a year, for the duration of the student’s enrollment, etc.). The student will be

Only the Area Disciplinary Committee may impose a disciplinary suspension. During the period of suspension the student is barred from all University property, absent written permission from the Area Dean of Students, and is prohibited from exercising any rights and privileges of a student in the University. Unless the Area Disciplinary Committee specifically states otherwise in its decision, at the expiration of the period of suspension the student may resume active status as a student without any action on their part other than what would be required of any student who has, for a comparable period, interrupted their residence in the University for any other reason.

Always refer to the instructors’ guidance on when and how generative artificial intelligence may be used in course work. Instructors may opt to limit or otherwise specify when AI tools are and are not permitted. AI usage policies may vary from course to course. Always follow the instructors’ guidance and if you are unclear about what is allowed, please ask your instructor for clarification.

證據定位器: When Can I Use Generative AI to Support My Learning?; normalized extracted text; Unicode codepoints 1772:2165

“AI” refers to artificial intelligence technology, including generative and agentic tools. A generative tool, or a feature of a tool, drafts new text, images, figures, code, audio, or video, or makes substantive edits to them. An agentic tool takes actions or completes multi-step tasks on your behalf, including without a prompt for each step. Familiar examples include Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, but the term also covers open-source models, features embedded in other software, and emerging forms such as multi-agent systems. Use is defined by function, not by product name or ownership entity, and the governing question is what a feature does at the moment you use

證據定位器: Law §4.9, Autumn 2026 revision, definition; normalized extracted text; Unicode codepoints 5663:6342

it. As it is used in this Section, “AI” does not include tools that merely assist with error correction and search and retrieval of source information. Tools that identify errors or suggest corrections to grammar, spelling, or punctuation do not count as AI for purposes of this policy, even if they incorporate AI internally. A tool that rewrites entire sentences or passages, however, is generative. Tools that find, rank, or extract information from sources, including library databases and literature search, do not count as AI for purposes of this policy. A generated summary or synthesis of retrieved sources does count as AI, however, even when it appears inside a search tool.

a) For exams, unless the instructor specifies otherwise, the use of generative AI is absolutely prohibited in any exam. Commentary: Students must not prompt or engage with generative AI in any way during an exam and (as was always the case) every word of the exam answer must be produced by the student themselves during the exam period. This default prohibition does not extend to the use of generative AI when studying for an exam, so long as it does not violate any other aspect of this policy. For example, while preparing an outline in advance of an exam, a student could ask tools like ChatGPT for the holding of Marbury v. Madison or for a list of arguments for and

Instructors have flexibility to set policy for the use of AI in their classes. The Law School sets a default for use of AI, but each instructor can set their own policies. 3. Deviations from the default policy shall be stated in writing in the syllabus posted on Canvas for the class.
