Evidence-backed claims
8 reviewed evidence-backed public claim
Source Status
KU official guidance states that the university does not currently have a university-wide policy specific to the use of generative artificial intelligence in teaching and learning.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: no_current_university_wide_genai_teaching_learning_policy_found
Original evidence
Evidence 1The University of Kansas does not currently have a university wide policy specific to the use of generative artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. Existing expectations for academic integrity continue to apply when AI tools are used.
Original evidence
Evidence 2The University of Kansas does not have a specific policy about use of generative artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. The University Senate Rules and Regulations do provide guidance on academic integrity, though:
Privacy
KU data-use guidance says only public information should be entered into public third-party AI tools unless an enterprise-approved protected environment is used.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: public_ai_tools_public_data_only_unless_enterprise_approved
Original evidence
Evidence 1To protect university data and privacy, only information classified as Public should be entered into public, third party AI tools unless you are using an enterprise approved, protected environment.
Security Review
KU data-use guidance says Microsoft Copilot is approved for public, sensitive, and confidential university data only when users sign in with the relevant KU account and Enterprise Data Protection is active; restricted data requires additional consultation or review for KU Lawrence users.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: copilot_enterprise_data_protection_conditions
Original evidence
Evidence 1Microsoft Copilot is approved for use with university data classified as public, sensitive, and confidential when: the user is signed in with a @ku.edu account, and Enterprise Data Protection is active (indicated by the shield icon).
Original evidence
Evidence 2Use of Copilot with restricted data requires prior consultation with departmental Technology Support Staff and may be subject to additional review or approval to ensure compliance with university data classification, security, and regulatory requirements.
Academic Integrity
KU guidance tells students that instructors should communicate course-specific GenAI policies and that students are responsible for understanding and following those expectations.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: students_follow_course_specific_genai_expectations
Original evidence
Evidence 1Your instructors should communicate course specific policies regarding generative AI use. Students are responsible for understanding and following those expectations and for completing coursework honestly.
Original evidence
Evidence 2Students should ensure that their use of GenAI tools in coursework complies with their instructor's GenAI policy as stated in the syllabus.
Ai Tool Treatment
KU GenAI guidance says users remain responsible for GenAI outputs, including verification of accuracy and compliance with university policies and laws.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: users_responsible_for_genai_outputs_and_policy_compliance
Original evidence
Evidence 1The University of Kansas encourages responsible learning, inquiry, and experimentation with GenAI tools. It is important to remember that GenAI is a tool, and users remain responsible for the outcomes of its use.
Original evidence
Evidence 2Use of GenAI tools is subject to University policies, standards, procedures, guidelines, regulations, faculty, staff, and student manuals, and codes of conduct. GenAI tools must not be used for illegal, discriminatory, or defamatory purposes.
Research
KU researcher guidance says researchers should comply with sponsor, publisher, institutional, and disciplinary rules when using GenAI and should consider confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property, and disclosure requirements.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: researchers_follow_sponsor_publisher_institutional_rules_and_disclose_when_required
Original evidence
Evidence 1Researchers should exercise appropriate caution when using GenAI tools in research activities. In particular: Review and comply with funding agency, sponsor, and publisher policies related to AI use. Be attentive to how AI tools handle data, including confidentiality, privacy, and intellectual property considerations.
Original evidence
Evidence 2Standards related to authorship and attribution, data management, transparency, ethical review, and academic honesty continue to apply when AI technologies are involved. Researchers are expected to: Understand and disclose relevant use of AI tools when required.
Teaching
KU instructor guidance suggests communicating GenAI expectations to students and says use of GenAI plagiarism detection tools is not recommended because their accuracy is not guaranteed.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: instructors_communicate_expectations_ai_detection_not_recommended
Original evidence
Evidence 1Communicate expectations to students about coursework and the use of GenAI tools. This may include statements in the course syllabus and reiteration of classroom policy when framing relevant assignments.
Original evidence
Evidence 2Use of GenAI plagiarism detection tools is not recommended, as their accuracy is not guaranteed. GenAI plagiarism checkers (such as Turnitin or GPTZero) may produce false positives and may introduce bias against non-native English speakers and students with disabilities.
Source Status
KU responsible-AI guidance states that AI use is governed by existing technology-neutral university policies based on the activity and data involved, rather than by the specific technology alone.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: ai_use_governed_by_existing_activity_and_data_based_policies
Original evidence
Evidence 1The use of artificial intelligence at KU and KUMC is governed by existing university policies, many of which are technology neutral and apply across different tools and platforms.
Original evidence
Evidence 2The Council's work is informed by the NIST Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) and emphasizes a practical, risk based approach to AI use that supports KU's academic, research, and operational missions while protecting individuals and institutional interests.
