- Graduated AI syllabus statements developed by Academic Senate workgroup. An Academic Senate workgroup headed by English professor Eric Odegaard (with history professor/online education coordinator Senya Lubisich) developed four graduated AI syllabus statements ranging from permissive (AI allowed only with explicit professor permission) to restrictive (tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly prohibited, with possible referral to the Office of Student Affairs); use is voluntary since the Senate cannot dictate how individual instructors teach.
