Normalized value: ai_detectors_not_permitted_for_staff_or_faculty

Source Status

Concordia's CTL GenAI FAQ says the university does not currently have an official policy regarding the use of GenAI, and explains that GenAI has not officially been adopted by the university so its use cannot be required in coursework.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: no_current_official_genai_policy_found

Original evidence

Evidence 1
The university does not currently have an official policy regarding the use of GenAI. One reason is that GenAI has not officially been adopted by the university, meaning that its use cannot be required in coursework.
