Campus AI Framework
The framework

Four commitments underneath every pillar

The tools and pillars are the mechanics. These are the principles they exist to serve.

Why this mattersA board, a faculty senate, and the public will hold you to these. Putting them on record early costs far less than defending their absence later.

Academic freedom & shared governance

Teaching and academic integrity decisions belong to faculty. This framework informs that conversation; it does not override it.

Equity by design

Ask who is helped, who is left out, and who is harmed, in every pillar, not once at the end.

Accountability & recourse

When AI affects someone, a person stays answerable and there is a clear way to appeal.

Human judgment over automation

AI supports decisions; people make them. Higher stakes mean more human oversight.
