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.
AI and the Learning Environment Taskforce Report & Resources
In June 2024, the taskforce submitted a report with recommendations to the Office of the Provost. The report outlines how they gathered input from across campus, consulted with AI experts, and analyzed industry best practices to create a roadmap for MU to become an “AI forward” institution. The report lists the names of the taskforce members and offers recommendations on potential policies and practices our campus should consider in relation to generative AI (Gen AI) and the learning environment.

The appendices of the report have numerous resources for instructors to use in crafting syllabi statements and assignment guidelines in relation to Gen AI.
