- Professors Kirsten Cornelson and Tony Frost piloted the AI tool, Ask GMM, in their class this year, stating the fee covers the cost of building and using the AI.

- Martha Maznevski, Ivey Business School's associate dean for programs, stated the school is aware of the concerns surrounding course materials and is reviewing the matter.
