Patterns & learnings
  • Some emerging patterns/learnings from this snapshot in time (February 2025):
  • Leadership: Again, strong engagement of Senates and district/college shared governance, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting college communities with learning about AI, policy development, and importantly implementation, particularly with intentional focus on equity (algorithmic equity) and accessibility (Cuyamaca, Grossmont, Miracosta).
  • Learning: Strong models of district/college learning infrastructure, including Professional Learning, Online Learning, Distance Learning, Academic Integrity Teams supporting in-person, online, and hyflex faculty learning. Some emerging shared leadership models of broader and more inclusive college-wide learning support Classified Professionals and Admins as well. (SDCCD, Miracosta PD: Faculty, Admin, and Classified Panel on AI in their College Work)
  • Language: College communities are grappling with the process of developing AI policy language. Spectrum of differentiated development continues: under existing code of conduct/academic honesty, professor to professor AI syllabus statements, and then development of AI-specific policies and language (Grossmont, Palomar, MiraCosta, and Miramar).

June 2026 regional patterns & learningsupdated

San Diego/Imperial is a policy and degree pioneer. Grossmont launched a first-of-its-kind applied-AI A.S. (Fall 2025) with an NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute collaboration; MiraCosta built on one of California's earliest AI associate degrees with a values-driven teaching-and-learning resolution; and San Diego City College's academic-senate AI position paper (14 recommendations) reached the SDCCD Board of Trustees in April 2025. District-wide structures (the Equitable AI Alliance, Grossmont-Cuyamaca's BP/AP 3775) and faculty PD at SDCE and San Diego Mesa round out a deep regional ecosystem.

  • Spring 2024, Palomar College approved amendment to Administrative Procedure 5505: Academic Integrity which addresses academic honesty and includes guidelines on the use of generative AI tools.
  • “TYPES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
  • Academic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, fraud, making multiple submissions of similar work, using unauthorized artificial intelligence programs, and facilitating academic dishonesty.”
  • Cheating consists of obtaining or trying to obtain, through dishonest means, credit for academic work. Examples include, but are not limited to:
  • ….Using unauthorized materials, information, or study aids (e.g., textbook, artificial intelligence, web search, notes, data, images, formula list, dictionary, calculator, etc.) in student work
  • Unauthorized Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as employing artificial intelligence tools, software, or systems for academic purposes without instructor authorization or in violation of institutional policies, resulting in academic dishonesty or misconduct. Examples include:
  • Using AI tools to solve problems, show logic, draft texts, create multimedia objects, translate or summarize documents, all without instructor authorization.
  • Artificial Intelligence Tools The faculty is free to set their own policies regulating the use of generative AI tools in their courses, including allowing or disallowing some or all uses of such tools. Faculty should set such policies in their course syllabi and clearly communicate such policies to students. Students who are unsure of policies regarding generative AI tools are encouraged to ask their instructors for clarification (Stanford University Office of Community Standards). Absent a clear statement from faculty, use of or consultation with generative AI shall be treated analogously to assistance from another person. In particular, using generative AI tools to substantially complete an assignment or exam (e.g. by entering exam or assignment questions) is not permitted. Students should acknowledge the use of generative AI and default to disclosing such assistance when in doubt (Stanford University Office of Community Standards).”

  • Resolved, that the Miramar College Academic Senate endorses the following statements for faculty consideration when incorporating AI tools into their syllabi:
  • Prohibition of AI Tools: In this course, students are not permitted to use AI tools for assignments, exams, or other coursework submissions. The objective is to promote direct engagement with the material and ensure the development of students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and writing skills. Violations, including plagiarism or submission of AIgenerated content as original work, will be treated as academic misconduct according to the college's academic integrity policies.
  • Permissive Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are allowed to use AI tools to assist with certain aspects of their coursework, such as research, drafting, and problem-solving. However, students must exercise critical judgment when evaluating AI-generated content for accuracy and relevance. All submissions must include a statement explaining the extent of AI assistance. Adherence to academic integrity policies is expected, and AI-generated content must not be presented as original work without proper citation.
  • Encouraged Use of AI Tools: In this course, students are encouraged to explore the use of AI tools to enhance their learning experience. These tools can be used for brainstorming, research, and deepening understanding of complex concepts. Students must document the role AI played in their work and follow academic integrity guidelines, including proper attribution of AI-generated content.
