The question
01Should North Valley Public University adopt a campus-wide generative AI policy for teaching and learning in the 2026-27 academic year?
Recommendation
02Adopt a 90-day controlled pilot and an interim policy, but do not authorize regulated-data workflows until provider terms, institutional controls, and applicable law have been reviewed.
Any actual decision remains subject to the stated boundaries, a human decision owner, and local review.

Policy analyst
Adopt with controls
A controlled policy can replace inconsistent informal use with common disclosure, verification, privacy, and accountability rules while leaving course-level judgment with instructors.Adversarial reviewer
Delay broad authorization
A campus-wide launch could normalize unsafe data handling, unequal access, unreliable citations, and unclear enforcement before provider contracts and support capacity are ready.Source verifier
