The university's policy for spring 2024 is that instructors will use their own discretion and explain to students what constitutes unauthorized use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT for coursework. Purdue University is leaving it up to individual professors — at least for now.According to recent guidelines from the university, finalized for the spring 2024 semester by the university’s Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning, faculty will be able to choose whether their courses make use of generative AI tools, as well the extent to which students are allowed to use generative AI within their coursework.
