From AI Governance to Guardrails with Hood College's April Boulton

From AI Governance to Guardrails with Hood College's April Boulton

Hood College built an AI task force that intentionally included skeptics alongside early adopters, producing a two-layer policy with campus guardrails and room for discipline- and unit-specific rules. The policy restricts sensitive data and student work to vetted, licensed tools, while assessment guidance varies by discipline through workshops, and Hood is not using AI detection software.

  • 01Task force co-chairs actively recruited faculty skeptics—including an ethics critic and a tech educator—to sit alongside enthusiasts; the resulting friction shaped discussions on syllabus rules and assessment.
  • 02Campus environmental scan showed over 40% faculty and staff participation, with respondents requesting clear policy plus discipline flexibility rather than either a college-wide ban or a free-for-all.
  • 03Hood’s two-layer policy limits sensitive data and student work to college-vetted, licensed tools, and professional development reinforces the approved-tools list.

Ball State's 36 new Corsair PCs are built for esports and creative software

Corsair supplied Ball State University's Esports Center with 36 PCs, each with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 64 GB of memory and a 320 Hz display. The spec serves two kinds of users. Memory sized for Maya and Unreal Engine sits beside displays built for competitive play. Ball State says the upgrade gives students access to technology used in media production, animation and game development.

  • 01For a shared esports and media lab, let the heaviest course software set memory, and esports needs set the display and GPU.
  • 02Ball State expects its largest esports participation in 2026-27 since the program’s first year, and that count is the next test of demand.
