The study, conducted in April and May 2026, gathered responses from experienced legal practitioners who regularly advise students and universities in misconduct cases, including cases involving alleged AI misuse, offering a perspective that is often absent from wider discussions on academic integrity in higher education.
The findings raise significant concerns about the fairness, consistency, and quality of university decision-making. Respondents identified recurring issues including inadequate training for decision-makers, inconsistent application of procedures, poor engagement with student evidence, and limited procedural safeguards for those accused of misconduct.
