This afternoon, the Boulder Faculty Assembly passed a resolution (after strengthening via amendment) calling for no extension of the OpenAI contract. Vote was 39-8-1 after suspending the bylaws, as necessary to meet the chancellor's artificial decision deadline of tomorrow.

The CU Student Government meeting was this evening and public comment was fired up about their corresponding resolution, talking about trust, societal impact, and genuine commitment to learning. So energizing.

CU Student Government passed their corresponding resolution (with lots of context and calls for shared governance) unanimously on first reading, as necessary to meet the chancellor's deadline. I am so proud of their curiosity, purpose, commitment to shared governance, and parliamentary skills. ❤️

University administrators play on our division. They have claimed that there is no coherent message from faculty or students about "AI". That refusal is fringe. That OpenAI contracts are ordinary procurements not subject to shared governance.

May the record show that faculty and students speak as one. ✊️

Today was a good day for democracy, no matter what the chancellor deigns to do with this information tomorrow.
