q2 i? The proportion of misconduct cases that were GenAI-related increased significantly across 2023–2025 (χ²(2) = 320.93, p < .001; Cramér's V = 0.250), while total misconduct volume remained comparatively stable. → Albert Munoz 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Analysis of institutional case records at one regional Australian university found GenAI-related allegations rose from 11.9% of cases in 2023 to 36.9% in 2025; the chi-square test gave "V = 0.250, approaching a moderate effect". The study reports this as proportional growth, not a causal claim.

"A chi-square test confirmed that this proportional growth across the years is not attributable to random variation (χ²(2) = 320.93, p < .001), with Cramér's V reported as the effect size measure given its ability to standardise the chi-square statistic against both sample size and table dimensions (V = 0.250, approaching a moderate effect; Cohen, 2013)."
