  Season 6: Episode 18: Governance Over Gadgets

  Jun 18, 202613 minS6

  This week on the AI & Higher Education Global Brief: higher ed is turning a corner — from frantic tool adoption and surveillance toward governance, accountability, and human-centered teaching. We unpack a 30,000-respondent Latin American survey revealing an "integration paradox" (near-universal student use, lagging faculty confidence and training), a major international ethics review charting the shift from alarmism to consequence-aware policy, and signals from France, Stanford, Ulster, and beyond. Plus a practical Do-It-Now checklist for leaders, and an Inspiration Moments close to carry you into the week. Governance over gadgets — that's the bet.

  May 21, 202611 minS6

  Welcome to the AI & Higher Education Global Brief! In this week's episode, we tackle "The Governance Imperative."Higher education is entering a new phase where the governance gap is no longer just a policy problem; it is a trust problem. We cover the 52 AI-education bills currently moving across 25 states, the alarming mass-flagging incident at Purdue University, and why the window for voluntary, proactive governance is closing faster than most campuses realize. Join the conversation: Is your institution ahead of the legislation coming for it — or will you be reacting to it? Visit https://www.lynnfaustin.com/contact-us/ to share your thoughts. Inspiration Moment: This week, do one governance act: convene one meeting, draft one policy, ask one question your leadership has been avoiding. Stay mindful, stay focused, and remember that every great change starts with a single step. So, keep thriving, understanding that 'Life happens for you, not to you, to live your purpose.'

  Season 6, Episode 15: AI in Higher Education_ From Detection to Integration

  May 14, 202612 min

  Higher education is making a hard shift, and this episode gets straight to it. The long-standing focus on catching AI use is losing ground, and institutions are starting to rethink how learning is designed, assessed, and led. Lynn and Angelina break down what is actually happening inside universities right now, and what it means for faculty, leadership, and students moving forward. This conversation takes you inside the growing rejection of AI detection tools, the rise of AI-resilient curriculum design, and the real pressures faculty are facing as expectations change. You will hear what leading institutions are doing differently, where policy is tightening, and how academic integrity is being redefined through process, not policing. If you teach, lead, design curriculum, or care about the future of higher education, this episode will challenge how you think about learning in an AI-driven world. It is not about the tools. It is about how we prepare people to think, question, and lead alongside them.
