At UVU, we acknowledge both the benefits and challenges associated with ChatGPT and other AI tools. In addition, the University has charged a task force to explore the best practices and opportunities for the efficient, ethical, secure, and inclusive use of generative AI in pedagogy and curriculum development and to prepare students for an AI-dominated world. We are highly supportive of the partnership between Faculty Senate, the Office of Teaching and Learning, and the AI Task Force to support faculty in this important work.

Please know that these collaborative efforts are intended to provide future guidance as we continue to better understand the benefits and challenges associated with AI generative tools in teaching and learning environments. In collaboration with Faculty Senate, the Office of Teaching and Learning will update resources, faculty training, and other support mechanisms as needed to keep UVU faculty members abreast of new developments related to this topic.
