Adults & Professionals · Safety & Governance · ~7 min read
The premise
AI can draft a course-level AI policy covering permitted uses by assignment type, but faculty governance must approve and adopt it.
What AI does well here
- Draft a permitted-uses matrix indexed by assignment type.
- Generate boilerplate AI-citation guidance students can paste.
What AI cannot do
- Set institutional policy or override departmental governance.
- Adjudicate individual academic-integrity cases.
