AI use in coursework is forcing campuses to rethink how they support learning while protecting academic integrity. A new perspective argues that student expectations for AI are growing, but most students still use AI infrequently and primarily for low-level tasks like grammar and formatting rather than concept mastery. At the same time, students report concerns about integrity, fairness, and unclear institutional policies, creating a mismatch between what students want and what institutions currently provide. The piece recommends balancing AI innovation with faculty-selected content, emphasizing that classroom tools should be purpose-built for pedagogy rather than general consumer convenience. For higher education leaders, the coverage frames the immediate challenge as policy design and instructional alignment—ensuring students can use AI effectively within clear academic boundaries.
