Conceptual framework demonstrates strategies for AI integration in higher education, highlighting the protection of faculty autonomy, learning integrity, and institutional accountability.
What happens to faculty autonomy, student learning, inclusion, accountability, and leadership legitimacy when AI can perform substantial portions of academic work? This presentation examines that question through recent empirical research and develops a five-part higher education leadership framework focused on: ▪️ Faculty autonomy▪️ Learning integrity▪️ Equitable participation▪️ Institutional accountability▪️ Leadership legitimacy The central argument is clear: AI can assist academic work, but it should not determine the purposes, standards, responsibilities, or values of higher education. The presentation offers a framework for examining AI adoption through a higher education leadership lens and provides recommendations for faculty empowerment, student learning, inclusion, AI literacy, accountability, and institutional decision-making.
