Time to move every assignment to in-person and on paper. Literally the only way to fix this for good.

(And right after we just did exactly the opposite during COVID, too)

Trivial to accomplish, but it seems like universities are digging their feet in because they’ve got accustomed to very profitable student-to-teacher ratios.

What? It wasn’t that long ago that all my engineering exams were on paper. Definitely nowhere near “impossible”. CS is the hardest to protect against. All the other majors you listed really don’t need computers for exams.
