With the publishing of ChatGPT and it's ability to write essays, answer questions, etc. at the very least at the graduate level, it seems likely that people will begin to use it for school work. Will a student be accused and subsequently punished for such an action.
This question will resolve positively if there is a public news report that indicates a student being punished for using AI to complete school work (where they aren't allowed to) at any recognized post-secondary institution.
Will likely need to use some discretion here.

@Alana The only mention of consequences for the student is: "Ultimately, he confronted the student, who copped to using ChatGPT and failed the class as a result. The undergrad was also turned over to the school’s academic dean."
I think failing the class probably shouldn't count as punishment by itself?
@EliasSchmied It is implied that the student would not have counterfactually failed the class.
A negative outcome being inflicted upon a student as a consequence of the student performing some action X should, by a natural reading, imply that the student was "punished for X."
@Alana I mean, it's kind of like if you stole something, giving it back isn't your punishment.
Oh, but I guess getting a 0 on the assignment probably wouldn't result in failing the class by itself. So actually you're right
@EliasSchmied this counts. Failing a class is a significant punishment. Not even a warning.
@MarcusAbramovitch I feel that you should wait ~2 weeks since it will take a while for news reports to come out even if the punishment happened before the 15th.
