During summer 2025, College Board surveyed more than 3,000 U.S. college faculty. The research finds that faculty sentiment toward AI skews negative, with 45% reporting an overall negative view of AI use in higher education and 34% reporting a positive view. Despite their concerns, most faculty are experimenting with AI themselves, with 77% saying they have used AI in their professional role. The findings also emphasize a growing divide within higher education. Faculty at more selective institutions report higher levels of student AI use and greater concern about its academic impact, while faculty at open enrollment colleges are more likely to see AI as a practical instructional tool and report using it themselves.
