Subclaims¶

q2 i? 17% of threads are cross-role (faculty and students in the same thread), and one third of such contact occurs in the adversarial themes AI Detection and Misconduct Enforcement. → Pelin Yüce 2026 q2 i? Students initiate 68% of mixed threads, but faculty produce most cross-role replies; mixed threads contain 2-3× more records and last 2-4× longer than same-role threads. → Pelin Yüce 2026 (2)

LLM-based role classification of 109,581 authors (82,373 binary-labelled: 35,466 faculty, 46,907 students) enables thread-level cross-role analysis. "17% of threads are cross-role, and one third of such contact occurs in the adversarial themes".

"Examining where faculty and students meet, we find 17% of threads are cross-role, and one third of such contact occurs in the adversarial themes AI DetectionandMisconduct Enforcement."

Thread-level analysis of mixed-role threads shows "Students initiate 68% of mixed threads, but faculty produce most cross-role replies" and "Mixed threads contain 2-3×more records and last 2-4×longer than same-role threads", making integrity disputes the principal site of sustained faculty-student contact.

"Students initiate 68% of mixed threads, but faculty produce most cross-role replies. Mixed threads contain 2-3×more records and last 2-4×longer than same-role threads"
