- Detection status
- Turnitin confirmed for plagiarism/similarity checking in Brightspace; CUNY's own systemwide Brightspace faculty guidance states Turnitin "does not feature AI detection tools for identifying AI-generated content" — no AI-text detector is named anywhere on brooklyn.edu across a named-vendor and category sweep

No AI-text detector confirmed — Turnitin is plagiarism-only under CUNY's own description
A named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, Turnitin AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep (the Library's AI & Academic Integrity guide for faculty, the Brightspace support pages, and CUNY's own systemwide Academic Integrity Policy) found Turnitin confirmed for plagiarism checking in Brightspace, the learning management system Brooklyn College uses, and no AI-text detector named as deployed.
A CUNY Brightspace faculty guide, hosted on a sister CUNY college's site and covering the same CUNY-licensed Turnitin instance Brooklyn College uses, states (retrieved Sep 25, 2026):
Source: Turnitin LTI V1 — Brightspace Guidelines for Faculty. Brooklyn College's own Faculty Action Report form separately lists "the Safe Assign Report" among examples of plagiarism documentation a faculty member may attach; the form displays no date, and no current Brooklyn College page located in this review names SafeAssign as a presently deployed tool alongside Turnitin, so this is recorded as what the form says rather than confirmed as current. The CUNY Academic Integrity Policy itself (Amended and replaced June 27, 2022) requires only that "Each college shall subscribe to an electronic plagiarism detection service," naming no specific tool and no AI-writing capability. Your syllabus and assignment instructions are therefore among the relevant sources for your own situation.
What Brooklyn College's and CUNY's own pages say about how cases proceed
- Who may be present
- Brooklyn College's own Faculty Action Report states no advisor or recording provision. Where a matter escalates to a Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee under CUNY Bylaws Article XV, the parties "are permitted to have lawyers or other representatives or advisors act on their behalf... which shall include the calling and examining of witnesses, and presenting other evidence," and hearings are recorded by the college only: "No other recording of the proceedings may be permitted." — CUNY Bylaws, Article XV, §15.4 (retrieved Sep 25, 2026) · Section 15.4 — Student Disciplinary Procedures
- What follows on the record
- "[T]he college must place a notation of the findings and penalty on a respondent's transcript" unless a mediation agreement, an admitted-and-accepted-penalty resolution, the committee's decision, or an appeal decision "expressly indicate otherwise." A notation "shall be removed, as a matter of right," upon request "four years after the conclusion of the disciplinary proceeding or one year after the conclusion of any suspension, whichever is longer." — CUNY Bylaws, Article XV, §15.4(19)-(20) (retrieved Sep 25, 2026) · Section 15.4 — Student Disciplinary Procedures
The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.
Brooklyn College's own Faculty Action Report for Incidents of Academic Dishonesty (no date displayed; retrieved Sep 25, 2026) describes the first stage:
Source: Faculty Action Report for Incidents of Academic Dishonesty. A contested case going to the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs is investigated by the Office of Judicial Affairs under the disciplinary process CUNY Bylaws Article XV describes: after a preliminary investigation, the chief student affairs officer "shall... prefer formal disciplinary charges," and a Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee hearing follows, at which "[t]he college bears the burden of proving the charge(s) by a preponderance of the evidence." A respondent or complainant "may appeal a decision of the faculty-student disciplinary committee to the president" within "fifteen (15) calendar days after the delivery of the decision," on one of three grounds: procedural error, newly discovered evidence, or a disproportionate penalty.

Revision history of this page
2026-09-25 — Page created. All quotations retrieved this date from the brooklyn.edu, cuny.edu, policy.cuny.edu, libguides.brooklyn.cuny.edu and commons.hostos.cuny.edu pages linked beside them; the CUNY Academic Integrity Policy displays "Amended and replaced on June 27, 2022," the Library's AI & Academic Integrity guide displays "Last Updated: Sep 16, 2026," and the Faculty Action Report form displays no date. Reused rather than re-derived: the CUNY-systemwide fact, already established on Hunter, Baruch, Queens College, City Tech, CCNY and John Jay earlier in this queue, that the CUNY-licensed Turnitin instance carries no AI-generated-content detection — independently re-fetched and re-quoted here from the same Hostos-hosted Brightspace guide rather than assumed unchanged. Campus-specific facts (the Faculty Action Report, the Academic Integrity Officer's contact, Judicial Affairs, and the LMS confirmation) were captured fresh for Brooklyn College. Detection-inventory sweep performed: named-vendor sweep of brooklyn.edu, brooklyn.cuny.edu, libguides.brooklyn.cuny.edu and commons.hostos.cuny.edu (Turnitin, Turnitin AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep of the Library's AI & Academic Integrity guide, the Brightspace support pages, and CUNY's systemwide Academic Integrity Policy. NOT DISQUALIFIED, same reasoning as the collection's other CUNY pages. PROVENANCE HANDLED: the Faculty Action Report form's reference to "the Safe Assign Report" among plagiarism-documentation examples is reproduced from the form's own text with the caveat that the form is undated and no current Brooklyn College page confirms SafeAssign as presently deployed alongside Turnitin; it is not treated as a live detection-tool claim. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING: no Brooklyn College or CUNY page located in this review states an evidentiary standard, advisor right, or recording rule for the informal, faculty-level stage of a case (the Faculty Action Report itself is silent on all three) — only the escalated Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee track under CUNY Bylaws Article XV states preponderance of the evidence, an advisor/counsel right, and a recording rule, and the page states that scope rather than assuming the Article XV rules govern the informal stage too. OFFICE: no email address for the Academic Integrity Officer or for the Office of Judicial Affairs was found published on either office's own page; the Faculty Action Report publishes only a phone and fax number for the Academic Integrity Officer, and Judicial Affairs' own contact page publishes no direct phone or email for the office itself (the numbers on that page belong to unrelated confidential-support offices), so the docket does not invent one. OMBUDS: COSAR is a CUNY-central office reused from earlier CUNY builds in this collection (Hunter, John Jay) rather than a Brooklyn-College-specific one; that scope is stated on the page. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Subreddit demand scan not run (outside this run's research method). Internet Archive captures: to be added. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-25).
