q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative thematic analysis of faculty-targeted guidelines from the 50 universities. The abstract states "94% of universities had faculty guidelines emphasizing the importance of establishing and communicating course-specific GenAI policies"; 54% advised faculty to set their own policies and communicate them to students.
"Almost all the universities (47 out of 50 institutions) provided their faculty with some guidelines for the use of generative AI."
