Policy Guides for AI
Policy guides for AI help schools, colleges, and universities begin practical governance conversations around responsible use, data privacy, academic integrity, procurement, and human oversight.
How to Use
Adapt AI policy guidance to your local context
Choose the education setting that matches your organization, then adapt the template to your local mission, legal requirements, risk tolerance, technology environment, and governance process. These resources are planning tools, not legal advice or mandatory model policies.
Governance conversations
Use the templates to align leaders, instructors, technology teams, privacy stakeholders, accessibility teams, and compliance partners.
Local review
Institutions should review AI guidance with appropriate leadership, legal counsel, and local policy owners before adoption.
