Research

Lehigh's human-subjects research guidance says use of AI to analyze or process data must be disclosed to participants during consent.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence97%

Normalized value: AI analysis or processing of human-subjects research data must be disclosed in the participant consent process.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Use of AI to analyze or process data must be disclosed to participants as part of the consent process. The consent language must describe which AI tools will be used during or after the study, and whether AI tools will be used to process identifiable or de-identified data.

Localized display only

Lehigh research guidance requires AI data analysis or processing to be disclosed during consent.

Source Status

Lehigh's AI guiding principles page states that the principles are shared guideposts and are not intended to function as policy statements or a mandate.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence97%

Normalized value: AI guiding principles are not policy statements or a mandate.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
These principles are not intended to function as policy statements or a mandate. They are shared guideposts: a common starting point to support units, departments, and teams as they continue local, discipline-appropriate conversations about productive and responsible AI use.

Localized display only

Lehigh describes the principles as guideposts, not policy statements or a mandate.

Privacy

Lehigh tells faculty, staff, students, and affiliates that institutional, restricted, or critical data may not be submitted to online systems including generative AI tools.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence96%

Normalized value: Do not submit institutional, restricted, or critical data to generative AI or other online information systems.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
For this reason you may not submit institutional data, restricted data, or critical data-this restriction is covered by Lehigh's Acceptable Use of Computing Systems Policy.

Localized display only

Lehigh says institutional, restricted, or critical data may not be submitted to these systems, including generative AI tools.

Security Review

Lehigh says community members who learn of a potential data protection or confidentiality breach through generative AI tools or otherwise are required to report it to the Office of Information Security.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Normalized value: Potential data protection or confidentiality breaches involving generative AI must be reported to Lehigh's Office of Information Security.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Any member of the Lehigh community who learns of a potential breach of data protection or confidentiality- through the use of Generative AI tools or otherwise -is required by Section 5 of Lehigh's Acceptable Use Policy to report the incident to the Office of Information Security at [email protected].

Localized display only

Lehigh requires reporting potential data protection or confidentiality breaches involving generative AI tools to Information Security.

Academic Integrity

Lehigh says students are expected to follow instructor-set course rules and university academic integrity rules when using generative AI.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: Student generative AI use is governed by course-specific instructor rules and university academic integrity rules.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Students are expected to follow course-specific rules set by their instructors as well as academic integrity rules set by the university, as captured in the Student Code of Conduct.

Localized display only

Lehigh states that students must follow instructor course rules and university academic-integrity rules.

Research

Lehigh says AI services acceptable for Class II data may be used in human-subjects research upon IRB approval, while unapproved services should be reviewed with LTS for data-security requirements.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence94%

Normalized value: Class II acceptable AI services require IRB approval for human-subjects research use; unapproved services should be checked with LTS.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Services that are acceptable for Class II data may be used in human subjects research upon approval from the IRB. In order to avoid security breaches, you must access these AI services via your Lehigh account.

Localized display only

Lehigh research guidance allows Class II acceptable AI services in human-subjects research upon IRB approval and requires Lehigh-account access.

Teaching

Lehigh advises instructors to give students clear guidance on how generative AI tools may be used in coursework and research.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: Instructors are advised to provide clear student guidance on generative AI use in coursework and research.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Instructors are advised to give students clear guidance on the use of Generative AI tools for coursework and research.

Localized display only

Lehigh advises instructors to provide clear student guidance about generative AI use.

Teaching

Lehigh's CITL guidance tells faculty to directly address generative AI and provide explicit guidance about whether and how students may use AI-powered tools in class.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: Faculty classroom guidance should address AI directly and state whether and how AI-powered tools may be used.

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Directly address generative AI in your classroom, in your syllabi, in each assignment prompt, and in course materials. Provide students with explicit guidance about whether and how they may use AI-powered tools in your class.
