From the AI digest for Oct 29, 2026
Sources New Hampshire Public Radio National Catholic Register
What happened: Dartmouth Provost Santiago Schnell has resigned and is leaving the university after a faculty-led committee review found undisclosed AI use, New Hampshire Public Radio reported on October 29. The National Catholic Register's separate writeup adds that several fellow Catholic scholars — including some who had criticized Schnell's apparent use of AI in his writing — responded to his departure.
What's genuinely new: A second, independent outlet's coverage of the resignation, with the first named community of voices around it: fellow Catholic scholars, among them earlier critics of his apparent AI-assisted writing. The committee's specific findings have not been described in press coverage so far.
Watch: The committee's specific findings — which AI use went undisclosed and what disclosure standards apply; Dartmouth's and Schnell's own statements; how the scholar criticism develops; whether other institutions follow with disciplinary treatment of undisclosed academic AI use.
