Campus AI policy is increasingly instructor‑led: surveys show faculty, not administrators, are defining acceptable classroom uses of generative AI. That bottom‑up governance is colliding with accreditation expectations. AACSB’s 2025 State of Accreditation Report elevates AI from curiosity to an accreditation inflection point, urging business schools to demonstrate intentional AI integration across curricula, pedagogy and research. AACSB also called for research that demonstrates societal impact and announced a shift in review cadence that lengthens continuous improvement review cycles while maintaining higher evidence standards. Peer reviewers are seeking concrete evidence of institutional alignment, not pilot projects alone. The combined effect: faculty must translate classroom norms into measurable program objectives and documentation that will survive accreditation scrutiny, while deans confront cultural change and faculty workload constraints.
