AI is devastating higher education, but the system was broken

A widely read essay argues that generative AI is now devastating higher education, undermining assessment, student writing and academic integrity on a broad scale. The author's central claim is that AI is not the root cause: universities were already broken by casualisation, mass enrolment and underfunding before chatbots arrived, and AI has simply exposed those weaknesses.

Why now: The debate over AI's disruptive impact on teaching and assessment in universities is intensifying as institutions struggle to respond.
