No, they're not caught between anything. Stop it. The fact that AI may be used or useful in future jobs does not create a single dilemma at all for college students in how to actually complete their coursework. This is all nonsense & excuses for not doing the reading & learning how to think & write.
College students caught between professors' AI bans and employers' growing demand for AI skills
Research shows 75% of workers now use artificial intelligence on the job, yet many universities still classify its use as cheating.

We need geologists to find the minerals needed to power the green transition, which is why I am constantly surprised/dissapointed that now when we need geologists the most we have such low numbers of undergrads doing Geology. ⚒️🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Minerals power the green transition - Nature Geoscience
Geologists are seeking new critical mineral resources that are needed to support the world’s transition to net-zero carbon emissions.

Record breaking numbers of people attend a meeting in one of the few areas of the world that you can only realistically visit by plane, where AC is essential, where the vast majority of food is imported, where the water comes in plastic. All to talk about how we are destroying the planet. 🤔
