Librarians Serve on Award-Winning AI Task Force
Rebecca Graves and Kimberly Moeller served on the MU Task Force on Artificial Intelligence in the Learning Environment. MU Faculty Council on University Policy awarded this task force the group category of its Shared Governance Award.
Comments from the nomination include: The Task Force’s efforts to make sure faculty and staff have a seat at the table (and a head seat at that) in the development of AI-related policies and training modules exemplify this award’s dedication to inclusive and participatory governance. I am inclined to nominate this group for the Shared Governance Group Award not just because they formed in the spirit of shared governance, met, did careful research, and wrote a detailed report, but because their work was received by administration and has resulted in actual policy implementation.
In the spirit of shared governance, this award will be presented at the Spring 2025 General Faculty Meeting, Wednesday, April 2nd, at 3:30 pm at the Missouri State Historical Society.
