A student from Sorbonne Paris Nord University was excluded from her studies for three months due to concerns that parts of a group assignment may have been written by artificial intelligence. The exclusion was imposed by the university’s disciplinary section on June 30, 2026, after a group assignment submitted on December 17, 2025, reportedly contained text that could have been generated by AI. The student, who is studying for a master’s degree in real estate law, argued that the exclusion would affect her ability to earn her diploma and pursue a career in the notarial profession, which involves legal work related to property and contracts. The administrative court in Montreuil rejected her request for an emergency suspension of the exclusion on September 16, 2026. The judge ruled that none of her arguments created a "serious doubt" about the legality of the sanction. The student had asked to be reinstated to defend her internship report by September 17 and to either receive her diploma or take a makeup exam before September 30. She also claimed the university did not give her the required ten days to review the report that led to the exclusion and argued the punishment was unfair since her co-authors on the assignment were not disciplined. The student also sought 2,000 euros from the state to cover the costs of legal procedures. However, the court ruled that the exclusion would not be suspended, and the academic year had already ended on September 30. While the court still needs to decide whether the exclusion should be canceled, the student has already lost a significant amount of time that could affect her academic and professional future. The case highlights the growing concerns about the use of AI in academic settings and the challenges students face when facing disciplinary actions related to it.
