Chat GPT and Generative AI Tools: Policy Statement
Regarding the potential use of generative AI tools, no changes in university policy are
required. It is already a violation of policy for students to represent work they did not do
as their own, and work generated by an AI system that is not credited to that system
falls under that policy.
Michael University encourages faculty and instructors to include a policy in their course
syllabus regarding the use (and misuse) of Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT) in their
course.
A maximally restricted draft policy
We expect that all work students submit for this course will be their own. In instances
when collaborative work is assigned, we expect for the assignment to list all team
members who participated. We specifically forbid the use of ChatGPT or any other
generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools at all stages of the work process, including
preliminary ones. Violations of this policy will be considered academic misconduct. We
draw your attention to the fact that different classes at Michael University could
implement different AI policies, and it is the student’s responsibility to conform to
expectations for each course.
