About the Event As artificial intelligence reshapes the educational landscape, universities face a difficult tension. On one hand, institutions must provide clear, cohesive guidance to maintain academic integrity and protect the value of a degree. On the other, the cornerstone of higher education is academic freedom—the right of individual professors to determine the pedagogy, tools, and philosophy that best suit their discipline. This 45-minute webinar tackles this delicate balancing act head-on. We will discuss how academic leaders and faculty senates can establish flexible, institution-wide frameworks that protect and support students without micromanaging the classroom. Join us to explore collaborative models of governance that empower instructors to innovate with AI on their own terms while maintaining shared institutional standards.
