How a Yale AI-cheating dispute became a 13-count federal lawsuit
A disputed exam, an unreliable detector, and one very late Apple Pages file.
Thierry Rignol is furious at Yale.
Rignol paid Yale $208,500 in tuition for its Executive MBA program. But after he was accused of cheating, the school suspended him for a year and gave him an F in the course Sourcing and Managing Funds.
This happened despite the fact that Rignol was a "top student, on track to graduate first in his class," he says. As a result, Rignol missed out on being named class valedictorian, an honor he claims to have earned "under Yale's own stated criterion."
