Newly extracted claims are tracker additions and are not necessarily newly published by the university. Source snapshot changes show hash changes for the same source URL and are not by themselves policy changes.

11 # Rice University AI policy record
2+academic_integrity: Rice Honor Council's AI policy page says using AI software to generate ideas and passing them off as one's own is plagiarism; it also says course-specific AI policies may supersede the Honor Council's general AI policy.
3+Evidence (en, ad9410537dd6): "Utilizing AI software to generate ideas and pass them off as one's own will also be considered plagiarism and will be adjudicated as such." This policy was voted on and ratified as of 2023. While this policy governs all academic work, professors are allowed to create their own course-specific AI policies.
4+privacy: Rice Technology Solutions and Services AI Usage Guidelines say sensitive or confidential information covered by University Policy 808 should not be used with consumer-focused or publicly available AI services, and generative AI services should be reviewed by the Information Security Office before licensing.
5+Evidence (en, 492371448cb2): Information considered sensitive or confidential by University Policy 808 ( https://policy.rice.edu/808 ), including private information about individuals and protected research data, should not be used with consumer-focused or publicly available AI services. Before licensing new services, including Generative AI services, contact the Information Security Office.
6+academic_integrity: Rice University's Responsible AI student guidance says use of AI tools for coursework is allowed only when the instructor explicitly permits it, and students should check the syllabus or ask the professor before using AI on assignments.
7+Evidence (en, 435fa45f5978): Use of AI tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, or image generators is only allowed if your instructor explicitly says so. Each course may have different rules. Always check the syllabus or ask your professor before using AI to help with assignments.
8+teaching: Rice Office of the Provost guidance urges faculty to include a syllabus section stating their course stance on AI use and the extent of allowed use; it also notes Honor Council guidance that LLM use must be cited.
9+Evidence (en, 2a21d10ea6c4): To foster transparency and manage expectations, we urge you to include a section in your syllabus outlining your stance on AI usage in your course. This can cover whether students are permitted to use such tools for assignments and the extent of their allowed use. Also, please note that the honor council guidance notes that the use of an LLM (referred to broadly in the undergraduate honor council update as AI) must be cited.
10+ai_tool_treatment: Rice University's Responsible AI faculty and staff guidance says the university provides access to Grammarly, Zoom AI Companion, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, and NotebookLM, and use of those tools must follow Rice's AI Usage Guidelines and tool-specific support documentation.
