In the spring of 2025 Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, Alix Gitelman, convened a workgroup to develop clear, actionable guidance for the use of Generative AI (GenAI) within OSU courses. An email was sent to OSU inform lists on September 19th that stated, “The guidance developed by the workgroup, with feedback from key OSU stakeholders, is designed to reflect OSU's shared commitments to human cognition and creativity, academic integrity, and inclusive excellence; support faculty autonomy and intellectual freedom; and maintain transparency, uphold our ethical responsibilities as educators, and protect the privacy and security of individual and institutional data.”

Instructors are encouraged to follow the guidance for instructors about GenAI in teaching and learning and add a GenAI syllabus statement to their syllabi.
