Communicating Clear Guidance: Advice for Generative AI Policy Development in Higher Education

Sarah Moore ; Kathryn Lookadoo

Abstract

This article presents the ongoing conversation about generative AI guidance and policy in higher education. The article examines syllabus policies, including analyzing sentiment, emotion, and common themes in GenAI policies. Findings show that policies should be audience-focused, clearly written, and grounded in strategies to promote ethical AI use in academia and the workforce. Practical tips for policy writing and sample policies are provided.
