Catching Up to Your Own Students: The Real State of AI in Higher Ed
Patrick Dempsey, co-author of Transparency & Reflection: Navigating Student + AI Work in Higher Education, joins us to dig into some of the most-asked questions in higher education right now and give an honest take on what AI is actually doing to the assumptions institutions have built their work on.
RegisterA student submits a polished essay with a clean process log and a thoughtful reflection attached. Did they write it, or did AI write it and they just documented the process well?
Higher ed doesn't have a good answer yet, and the tools institutions have reached for (transparency statements, logs, reflective essays) often tell us less than we'd like to believe.

What you'll learn:
- Which of the four phases of AI adoption your institution is in
- Why the gap between where institutions think they stand and where students already operate is where most policies quietly fail
- Why process logs and reflection essays often don't capture what they're meant to
- What it would take for institutions to be honest about who they serve and what AI actually changes for them
- How one university is handling official AI tools (Microsoft suite, GPT Enterprise) alongside the "rogue" tools faculty build on their own
Who this is for:
- Faculty and academic leaders navigating AI's effect on student work and assessment
- Provosts and senior university leadership weighing institution-wide AI policy
- Librarians, instructional designers, and anyone shaping how their institution responds to AI
