Editor Notes: This incident record includes the name of the professor because he spoke on the record to The New York Times and offered a public reflection on the event. His comments were framed as part of an ongoing learning process around AI use in higher education. Naming him here acknowledges his own contribution to that process and situates the episode within a society-wide moment of institutional and pedagogical transition. Timeline note: The key events in this incident span from February 2025, which is when the student reportedly discovered her professor's use of generative AI in course materials, to May 2025, when she received the university's formal response denying her tuition reimbursement request. The New York Times report was published on May 14, 2025, and reflects developments through the end of the academic semester, including retrospective comments from the professor and updates to institutional AI policy. This incident ID takes as its date the publication of that report.
