A University of Michigan undergraduate identified as “Jane Doe” sued the university in February 2026, alleging she was repeatedly and wrongly accused of using AI to write papers for a “Great Books” course despite providing medical documentation that her unusual writing style stemmed from anxiety and OCD, not AI use. A graduate instructor accused her three times during the Fall 2025 semester based on subjective judgment and AI-comparison outputs; the university proceeded with disciplinary action — a “No Record” grade — without offering disability accommodations.
The suit alleges disability discrimination and due-process violations.
