Thanks for the heads up, and sorry to hear about Drexel's decision along these lines! You might like to see the AAUP's recent report on AI and Academic Professions if it hasn't reached you. Also, since it's ChatGPT Edu, this op-ed might also be of interest

This podcast episode rounds up some of the biggest grievances with the incursions of generative AI in higher education and beyond. Pls have a listen and—especially if you are CSU faculty with adversarial inclinations towards AI—get at us!

It’s 2025 and the NYT is somehow still publishing these simpering little takes by David Brooks. Incredible

As a Cal State faculty member, I urge the CSU administration to recognize our duty of care towards students in this matter. These tragic losses should mark the end of our university’s association with a flawed product.

Cal State University currently lacks the counseling resources to support existing mental health concerns among its students—so it is particularly unwise for the university to contract with a corporation whose product is allegedly associated with serious mental health harms.

ChatGPT Edu is ChatGPT 4o—the same large language model named in the suits recently brought against OpenAI.

There is nothing to suggest that the “educational” version of the product will not have deleterious mental health impacts on our large and diverse student population.

In February, the CSU chancellor announced a new “AI-empowered university” initiative making Cal State the largest university to contract with OpenAI—spending $17M for system-wide of a product called “ChatGPT Edu.”
