Academic Integrity
Rutgers Academic Integrity Policy 10.2.13 applies to all schools and academic units and says students must ensure submitted course, research, or other academic work is their own and created without impermissible technologies, materials, or collaborations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: academic_integrity_requires_no_impermissible_technologies
Original evidence
Evidence 1This Academic Integrity Policy applies to all schools and academic units of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The principles of academic integrity require that a student make sure that all work submitted in a course, academic research, or other activity is the student's own and created without the aid of impermissible technologies, materials, or collaborations.
Ai Tool Treatment
Rutgers OIT guidance says only Rutgers-approved AI tools should be used at the university to protect university data and ensure appropriate use; Rutgers-approved versions include security and privacy safeguards and do not use Rutgers data to train underlying models.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: only_rutgers_approved_ai_tools_should_be_used
Original evidence
Evidence 1The tools licensed by Rutgers include security and privacy safeguards for appropriate use at the university. By using the Rutgers-approved versions of these tools, your data will not be used to train the models underlying the tools. To protect university data and ensure appropriate use, only Rutgers-approved AI tools should be used at the university.
Academic Integrity
Rutgers OIT guidance says AI use in academic settings typically varies by discipline, course, or instructor; students should not consider AI tools permissible for coursework unless instructors clearly state or communicate permission.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ai_coursework_use_depends_on_instructor_rules
Original evidence
Evidence 1Though AI tools are widely available to students, they should not be considered permissible for coursework unless clearly stated or communicated by instructors. Students are responsible for understanding and abiding by their program and instructors' guidance or rules on the use of AI.
Procurement
Rutgers OIT guidance says anyone considering purchase of an AI application for use at Rutgers must follow the same security processes and risk assessments as other software purchases, as well as Rutgers digital-accessibility standards.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ai_purchases_require_security_risk_assessment_and_accessibility_processes
Original evidence
Evidence 1If you are considering the purchase of an AI application for use at Rutgers, you must follow the same security processes and risk assessments as for other software purchases, as well as standards for digital accessibility.
Research
Rutgers HRPP guidance says researchers using AI in human-subject research must clearly explain in consent forms how AI will be used, what data it will access, and associated risks and limitations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ai_human_subjects_research_consent_forms_explain_use_data_risks
Original evidence
Evidence 1When using AI in research, whether as a supporting investigative tool or a technology with which human subjects directly interact, researchers must clearly explain in consent forms how AI will be used, what kinds of data it will access, and explicitly outline any associated risks and limitations.
Ai Tool Treatment
Rutgers IT's central AI page lists Microsoft Copilot Chat, NotebookLM, and Google Gemini as centrally funded AI tools available to Rutgers students, faculty, and staff at no additional cost, while Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Edu, and Google AI Pro are listed as subscription-required tools.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: rutgers_ai_tools_copilot_notebooklm_gemini_chatgpt_edu_google_ai_pro
Original evidence
Evidence 1AI tools (no additional cost): Microsoft Copilot Chat; NotebookLM; Google Gemini. AI tools (subscription required): Microsoft 365 Copilot (apps); ChatGPT Edu; Google AI Pro.
Privacy
Rutgers OIT guidance says confidential information, protected health information, and other proprietary Rutgers information may not be appropriate for use in AI applications and systems, and directs users to Rutgers data-classification and IT policies.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: confidential_phi_proprietary_data_may_not_be_appropriate_for_ai
Original evidence
Evidence 1Confidential information, Protected Health Information (PHI), and other proprietary Rutgers information may not be appropriate for use in AI applications and systems. For additional guidance, please consult this data classification chart for AI tools, as well as the Information Classification Policy 70.1.2 and other Information Technology policies.
Teaching
Rutgers teaching guidance recommends clear and transparent course policies around generative AI, class discussion of those policies and rationales, and, when GenAI is permissible, student disclosure and reflection on use plus submission of prompts and outputs.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: clear_course_genai_policies_disclosure_reflection_prompts_outputs
Original evidence
Evidence 1Have clear and transparent policies around generative artificial intelligence and discuss them with each class as well as the rationales behind them. If utilizing GenAI is permissible in a course, in addition to having students disclose usage, have students reflect on how they used it and how it impacted their learning. In addition, have students turn in any prompts and outputs.
Teaching
Rutgers teaching guidance says GenAI detectors should be treated with caution and cites research indicating they cannot currently be recommended for determining academic-integrity violations because of accuracy limits and false-accusation risk.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: genai_detectors_caution_not_recommended_for_ai_violations
Original evidence
Evidence 1The varying performances of GenAI tools and detectors indicate they cannot currently be recommended for determining academic integrity violations due to accuracy limitations and the potential for false accusation which undermines inclusive and fair assessment practices.
