Except for when it comes to pushing the latest woke. In that the universities not only keep up with whatever the media woke push, often the universities are ahead of the game promoting it (breakneck innovations).
One way around the AI-detection mess is simple: fewer paper assignments, more oral defenses. If a student really wrote their work, they should be able to explain and defend it face-to-face (or over video).
It raises standards, makes cheating much harder, and strengthens the student–professor connection. In many ways, it brings back the old rigor of the dissertation defense, scaled to everyday coursework.
