Dartmouth appointed a faculty special advisor and has pushed an unusually rapid campus rollout of AI tools guided by a 22‑recommendation faculty report and a new partnership with Anthropic. The advisory effort assessed faculty, staff and student sentiment, identified resistance around academic integrity, and proposed classroom use-cases and vendor relationships. What happened: Dartmouth’s provost office accelerated a coordinated AI strategy after the advisor’s review. Who’s involved: Dartmouth faculty leadership, the provost’s office, Anthropic. Why it matters: Dartmouth’s model — a faculty‑led review plus vendor engagement — provides an operational template other institutions may copy as they seek to reconcile pedagogy, safety and vendor risk.
