Only 9% of higher ed respondents say their cybersecurity and privacy policies are adequate for AI-related risk. But your campus is already using AI. Restricting AI without a sanctioned alternative doesn’t stop usage. It moves it out of sight. This guide gives campus leaders a practical path forward: 8 institutional standards, 5 decisions to make, and a 90-day action plan to move from policy to deployment. Download the “Higher Education Guide to Governed Campus AI” today to uplevel your strategy.

What must be true before we expand AI access across the institution? If your AI task force can’t answer that yet, bring this resource to the next meeting. It’s a readiness discussion guide for CIOs, provosts, and campus leaders with the questions and decision points required to move from policy to a first governed deployment in 90 days.

I'm excited to be heading to Denver for EDUCAUSE next week and got a lot planned. Would love to connect if you're there too. A few things on my radar while I'm there: We'll be at booth #1908 and we've got a happy hour on Wednesday, September 30, 2:30–5:30 p.m. MT. Come grab a drink and meet the team, no agenda needed. Also worth noting: a joint session with Microsoft, "Scale AI with Trust," Wednesday the 30th from 10 a.m.–12 p.m. MT at Microsoft Booth #1019. Good one if you're in the thick of AI governance or trying to move past pilot mode. But honestly, I'd rather just grab time with you directly than hope we cross paths at the booth. Let's meet in Denver: Cloudforce at Educause 2026 #EDUCAUSE2026 #HigherEd #AIGovernance
