Faculty and students react to investigation with concern about credibility and standards

The investigation sparked discussion on social media. Jeff Sharlet, a Dartmouth faculty member, posted that the provost's AI use leaves faculty "no ground to stand on" given widespread student concerns about AI. The finding highlights a credibility gap as Schnell publicly advocated for distinguishing independent student work from AI-assisted work while his own publications were largely AI-generated.

The provost of Dartmouth, at which I teach, has been using AI to write both academic papers & national op-eds, according to brave reporting by @thedartmouth.bsky.social. Many students are already bitter about AI. This leaves us as faculty no ground to stand on.

The provost of Dartmouth University is accused of having a chatbot generate nearly 100% of each of his recent public writings. Kudos to the brave students at the campus newspaper for doing this investigation: https://www. thedartmouth.com/article/2026/ 09/schnell-ai-writing

Some Dartmouth context for our provost alleged to have used AI extensively in his academic & public writing. Also worth noting that our administration has invested heavily in AI, without faculty consultation.

A provost argues universities need to distinguish what students can do independently from what they accomplish with AI. His op-ed about this is flagged 100% AI-written. His defense of that flagging is also 100% AI-written. The irony is so perfect it almost feels staged. https://www. thedartmouth.com/article/2026/ 09/schnell-ai-writing
