Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business has moved from experimentation to enforcement, notifying more than 350 full‑time faculty that AI training will be mandatory and that AI use in courses will be required starting this fall. Dean Ohad Kadan framed the policy as part of a four‑pillar strategy to embed AI across curriculum, research and operations, and said the MS in Artificial Intelligence in Business moved from concept to approval in roughly eight months. The shift at ASU reflects a broader administrative push: an Ellucian survey of 779 college administrators found two‑thirds of institutions are implementing AI across business units and 43% include AI in strategic plans. Administrators report AI is most adopted in marketing, admissions and financial‑aid workflows while confidence in AI’s classroom benefits has slipped. For academic leaders, the combination of institution‑level mandates and growing admin deployment signals an operational phase of AI adoption where faculty training, data security, and governance will determine whether campuses scale responsibly or fracture under inconsistent implementation.
