Yeah, it's crazy that cheaters are the protagonist of the ban e-proctoring story.
What if the university only admitted students who don't cheat?
How do we know that policy works for real at a place like Caltech?
Academic culture is accommodating, and you feel that way too. But universities must know that cheating harms everyone, it's a losing proposition. The right response should have been to suspend grading.

I had no faith that the proctoring systems would catch everything, and I had no desire to inflict them on my students in any case.
