Princeton Reverses 133 Year Proctor Rule After Widespread Cheating Reports

A 133 year policy fell after cheating surged

Princeton University’s faculty voted this week to reverse a proctoring policy first adopted in 1893, after “widespread” cheating concerns prompted a reassessment of how exams are monitored. The decision marks a rare change to an entrenched rule, replacing long-standing procedures shaped for nearly a century and more with updated oversight measures.
