The fact that they didn't have any kind of exam proctor up until now shows that they actually wanted students to cheat and not get caught, and now they've changed their mind for some reason. Minimal role enforcement is not "low trust" Or maybe it is, but it's good.

Did you get that idea from here? https://www.persuasion.community/p/getting-to-denmark Francis Fukuyama wrote in a recent blog post: "The United States is no longer a high-trust country. We must regain what’s been lost." I object to these "wide brush" social commentaries. Normally, they are written by powerful/famous men and frequently negative. I call it "Packaged Doomerism".

You mean currently exams aren't proctored?! I went to the University of Toronto and can't recall a single exam which wasn't.

And in fact, it's too funny to me that you specify undergrad - keeps you from mentioning that there were 533 Chinese grad students, nearly 5x more than the the country with the 2nd most grad students, India.

Literally bought pumpkins to carve, firewood for the stove, and a carton of eggs from unmanned ‘honor system’ roadside stands last year. All three made it easy, venmo code posted, boop, on your way.

Sounds more like an 1893 cost reduction to me... have the students supervise themselves for free.
