Honestly it should be -55. Fraud should be considered worse than doing nothing at all to balance the potential reward for not getting caught.

Not anymore. Theyā€™re starting to spin it as ā€œableistā€ to punish kids who use AI, according to my brother who is currently in grad school.

Woof I didnā€™t know that. I got academic misconduct over a single source I didnā€™t use MLA formatting correctly. Had to fight to get it off my record, almost lawyered up. No punishment for blatant ai/cheating would have far reaching implications; post secondary is serious and should be taken that wayā€¦ removing barriers only serves to further erode trust
