Summary
Princeton University faculty voted to mandate proctoring for all in-person exams, ending a 133-year-old honor system tradition. The policy, effective July 1, requires instructor supervision during exams in response to rising AI-assisted cheating and declining student reporting of Honor Code violations. The vote passed with only one opposing vote, marking the most significant change to the honor system since its establishment in 1893. The student-run Honor Committee system will be preserved, but instructors will now serve as witnesses during exams.
