White Paper

Leading Faculty in an AI Era 

Generative AI isn't just a technology challenge for higher education, it's also a people challenge. In this white paper, Jeff Selingo argues that resistance to AI is often rooted less in the tools themselves than in concerns about expertise, autonomy, and trust. Drawing on interviews with faculty and campus leaders, he outlines a practical framework for helping faculty adapt in an AI era.

From creating stability and psychological safety to identifying peer champions and scaling successful experiments, the report offers a roadmap for leading faculty through change while preserving the human core of teaching and learning.
