Teaching & Learning
- Student use of generative AI for graded coursework is prohibited unless the faculty member explicitly allows it in the course syllabus
- The syllabus guide directs instructors to state whether and when generative AI is permissible, and the academic honesty policy treats unauthorized use as submitting work that is not the student's own
“As a faculty member, you should indicate in your syllabus policy if/when the use of generative artificial intelligence is accepted in your course.”
“Students may not use generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of work they represent as their own, such as written assignments, oral presentations, and published resources, unless use of generative AI is established by the faculty member for a particular learning objective.”
“Students have a responsibility to maintain standards of academic honesty in their own work. Academic dishonesty is a violation of this trust and includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and submitting work that is not one’s own, among others.”
- The university allows instructors to decide whether generative AI may be used in their courses and for particular learning objectives
- There is no separate university-wide rule specifically authorizing or regulating AI for personal study, tutoring, or ungraded learning support outside that instructor-controlled context
“As a faculty member, you should indicate in your syllabus policy if/when the use of generative artificial intelligence is accepted in your course.”
“Students may not use generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of work they represent as their own, such as written assignments, oral presentations, and published resources, unless use of generative AI is established by the faculty member for a particular learning objective.”
Research
- The provided sources do not set a separate research-manuscript policy for faculty, staff, or graduate research writing beyond that student-facing rule
- The university's AI statement says students may not use generative AI to create work they present as their own, including published resources, unless a faculty member has established such use for a particular learning objective
“Students may not use generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of work they represent as their own, such as written assignments, oral presentations, and published resources, unless use of generative AI is established by the faculty member for a particular learning objective.”
Academic Integrity
- The university requires transparency when AI use is allowed
- The syllabus guide tells faculty to direct students to cite AI-generated text, and the academic honesty statement requires students to disclose, explain, and properly cite any permitted AI use using APA style
“State the expectation of use by students with all written assignments. Direct students to cite using AI-generated text.”
“Any use of generative AI outside of the parameters established by a faculty member should be considered a violation of HSSU’s academic honesty policy and should be processed through HSSU’s academic honesty procedures. If the use of AI is approved by the faculty member, the student must disclose its use, explain how it was used, and correctly cite all AI-generated references using APA style.”
- Undisclosed or unauthorized AI use is treated as an academic honesty violation and must be handled through the university's academic honesty procedures
- The sources do not mention AI-detection tools, but they do specify sanctions ranging from assignment failure to suspension or dismissal depending on severity and prior offenses
“Any use of generative AI outside of the parameters established by a faculty member should be considered a violation of HSSU’s academic honesty policy and should be processed through HSSU’s academic honesty procedures.”
“Academic dishonesty is a violation of this trust and includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and submitting work that is not one’s own, among others.”
“Depending on the nature and seriousness of the offense, one of the following sanctions may be imposed:
1. Failure to receive credit on the work in question.
2. Failure to receive credit in the course involved.
3. The student may be suspended or dismissed from the University.”
Institutional & Administrative
- Faculty are expected to set and communicate course-specific AI rules in their syllabi
- The sources do not provide broader rules for faculty or staff use of AI in grading, feedback, recommendation letters, or administrative work
“As a faculty member, you should indicate in your syllabus policy if/when the use of generative artificial intelligence is accepted in your course.”
“State the expectation of use by students with all written assignments. Direct students to cite using AI-generated text.”
