Chaffey College's AI Task Force, co-led by Academic Senate President Liz Encarnacion and Dean Andrew Long, presented a district-wide AI framework to the Governing Board and Senate in October 2025, focusing on policy, equity, and professional development, though no formal policy yet governs what materials may be run through AI or online proctoring disclosure. The college is launching an Artificial Intelligence associate degree and certificate in Fall 2026—positioning itself as one of the first community colleges to offer such a program—alongside new Data Science, DevOps, and Game Development pathways. Library faculty, including Carol Hutte, have built extensive AI literacy resources (workshops, tutorials, course-embedded guides teaching the CLEAR prompt framework and citation standards) and targeted privacy workshops for vulnerable populations.

- 🆕AI Task Force presents 'Guiding Policy, Practice, and Equity' to Governing Board and Academic Senate. An AI Task Force, co-led by Academic Senate President Liz Encarnacion and Dean Andrew Long (Dean of Instructional Support and Institutional Effectiveness), presented 'Artificial Intelligence At Chaffey College: Guiding Policy, Practice, and Equity' to the Governing Board at the October 2025 board meeting and re-presented it to the Academic Senate on Oct 28, 2025. Its charge: develop a district-wide AI framework aligned with Chaffey's mission, recommend policies/procedures across instructional and non-instructional areas, keep equity central to AI adoption, create structures for professional development and academic-integrity/student-conduct alignment, and monitor emerging technologies. 2025 · high confidence — source
- 🆕Academic Senate AI literacy resolution and GE-pathway discussion. At the Oct 28, 2025 meeting (in connection with the ASCCC Fall 2025 Plenary resolution packet), the Senate clarified that an AI resolution under discussion is 'focused on AI literacy, not integration,' and that the task force work would discuss the direction of AI literacy within the college's GE pathways and whether all departments would write language on addressing AI literacy. 2025 · high confidence — source
- 🆕'Everyday AI Workshop' (prompt engineering, ethics, privacy). The library offers an 'Everyday AI Workshop' teaching the CLEAR framework for prompt engineering (Concise, Logical, Explicit, Adaptive, Reflective), AI ethics (trustworthiness, privacy in medical data, IP), and the SIFT source-evaluation method, with downloadable slides and an evaluation component; targeted at both students and faculty.

AI Policies · 2
- 🆕No current district policy on what materials may be run through AI; gaps acknowledged. In the Oct 28, 2025 Academic Senate discussion, President Encarnacion stated there is 'no current policy determining what types of materials are allowed to be run through AI,' senators raised intellectual-property and privacy concerns (e.g., AI tools 'stealing' student work), and a student rep suggested a tiered consequence system tied to course-specific AI policies. Related policy/procedure work on academic integrity, copyright, and authorship is occurring via the Open Educational Resource Initiative. 2025 · high confidence — source
- 🆕Online proctoring (Honorlock) and AI cheating discussion; syllabus-disclosure guidance proposed. An Oct 28, 2025 Senate discussion item flagged rising student use of AI on online tests and the absence of an official policy on online exam-proctoring software. Associate Superintendent of Instruction Michael McClellan offered to explore guidance that would require faculty using online proctoring (e.g., Honorlock) to expressly state it on the syllabus, possibly with student consent and an on-campus testing alternative. 2025 · high confidence — source
