Realistically universities will have to ban the usage of computers for exams and homeworks.

For the same reason that elementary schools don't allow calculators in math exams.

You first need to understand how to do the thing yourself.

realistically you can't ban computers for home work as you dont control the environment. and as for banning them for exams that may work for most of the humanities math chemistry and physic, but good luck trying to teach a computer science degree without computers, or graphic design, or any of a number of of programs that are reliant on them if you want student to be competent with standard tools of their trad which are on computers. audio engineering computer video editing computers

Outside of distance learning - I think computers are very rarely used for CS exams in my, albeit dated, experience.
