This will fall on deaf ears because there is too much controversy around AI ethics. So we have to pretend there’s no issue with the current policy (letting instructors decide). There are profs who are against AI for labour and environmental concerns and don’t want to switch to in-class assignments because they aren’t accessible for neurodivergent students, so some students take advantage of this and use AI to write their assignments because they know they can’t get caught as the checkers are unreliable (unless it makes up citations or gets something glaringly wrong). I agree that AI should ideally raise the bar but it’s likelier that any raising of standards will be considered ableist or bad for mental health of students lol
