"But JP! How would they prove this anyway?"
Let the regulation read: "If a panel of 3 professors finds evidence of academic dishonesty sufficiently convincing with regards to the use of AI, the student will be required to pay X to compensate for additional burdens placed on the university"
The lack of sticks (we have plenty carrots) is an issue. The stakes for academic dishonesty are so low given the burden of proof that profs need to meet. If, say, there were a $5,000 fine per event...
