Spotlight Good afternoon all, I hope that the first week back on campus was a good one.  Earlier in August, we, at HESA towers, sent a survey to provosts and VPAs to get a better sense of where institutions were at with respect to building policies and guidelines regarding AI.

We will be populating the Observatory every week with new policies and guidelines with respect to AI that have been developed by higher education institutions across the country and

Spotlight Good morning,  You might be wondering why you’re hearing from us in August. No, Summer is not over yet… but we wanted to try something new. As you may know, HESA has now hosted two Roundtable meetings on Artificial Intelligence (AI) policies in higher education. The success of these meetings (177 joined us for the first meeting, and that number climbed above 200 for the second one) proved the need for pan-Canadian inter-institutional collaboration for the development of comprehensive
