Instructors must clearly indicate their course policy about AI use in every class syllabus, and potentially, for each and every assessment.
4+academic_integrity: WSU Provost guidance says WSU does not endorse AI detection tools and will not allow any AI detector to be the sole support for an academic misconduct case.
5+Evidence (en, 1b82013c5e5f): Currently, WSU does not endorse the use of any AI detection tool for several reasons. ... We will continue our policy of not allowing the use of any AI detector as the sole source of support for a case against a student for academic misconduct in the future.
6+ai_tool_treatment: WSU Provost guidance says instructors may allow or prohibit generative AI tools for their courses, with an obligation to communicate the course AI policy clearly to enrolled students.
