9 MU Task Force on AI and the Learning Environment

In the spring 2024 semester, the Provost charged tri-chairs of an “Artificial Intelligence and the Learning Environment Taskforce” to create a working group to research and make recommendations on the following three areas: 1) pedagogy, 2) learning, and 3) ethics. Tori Mondelli (Director, Teaching for Learning Center), Enid Schatz (Associate Dean, Graduate School), and Ben Trachtenberg (Director, Office of Academic Integrity), served as tri-chairs. They worked with the Office of the Provost and Faculty Council to identify potential members.

MU Shared Governance Award

The Mizzou Task Force on Artificial Intelligence was recognized as this year’s group award winner.
The task force has made sure faculty and staff have a head seat at the table in the development of AI-related policies and training, according to the nomination materials.
“I am inclined to nominate this group for the Shared Governance Group Award not just because they formed in the spirit of shared governance, met, did careful research and wrote a detailed report, but because their work was received by administration and has resulted in actual policy implementation,” one nominee wrote.
