Generative AI Policy Request Academic Senate February 5 2025
The Issue: Prompted by the growing influence of AI and the opening day presentation by Conectado and the integration of the AI workshop series being offered to faculty. SBVC currently lacks an AI policy on academic integrity and we believe it is essential to develop one in alignment with the 10+1. 10+1 Alignment: the request relates to grading policies, curriculum, student success, faculty governance, and institutional planning. Our ask is for President Hecht to form a working group of faculty members to develop an institutional proposal for an AI policy. Brown Act Compliance: This is NOT a formal Senate ad hoc committee but a voluntary working group. The voluntary working group will gather faculty input on AI-related academic integrity concerns and research best practices from other institutions. Then, it will draft a formal AI policy proposal for SBVC and eventually present it to Senate for discussion and approval. Ultimately, we would want the approved proposal to move forward by Senate as a resolution for institutional adoption.
SBVC Current Academic Integrity Policy Academic Dishonesty It is the belief at San Bernardino Valley College that students share a responsibility with their instructors for assuring that their education is honestly attained. In keeping with this belief, every instructor has the responsibility and authority to deal with any instances of plagiarism, cheating and/or fabrication that occur in the classroom. This policy on Academic Dishonesty applies to all students, including students taking online and hybrid classes. Examples of academic dishonesty include (but are not limited to) the following: Plagiarism (extended definition on the website) Cheating (extended definition on the website) Fabrication (extended definition on the website) https://catalog.valleycollege.edu/student-support-programs-services/student-rights-responsibilities/ *Located in the 2024-2025 Catalog under Student Support Services (not even under the Academic Standards and Policies Section)
