Reclaiming Higher Education in the Age of AI
From Reactive Adoption to Intentional Design
(HiEd3 Series — Paper 2 of 3)
Reclaiming Higher Education in the Age of AI
This second paper in the HiEd3 series examines how higher education institutions can move beyond reactive AI adoption toward intentional, responsible design. It explores why tool adoption alone is insufficient—and what institutions must clarify instead: roles, credentials, faculty development, governance, and long-term responsibility in an AI-integrated world.
Written for educators, institutional leaders, and policymakers navigating real decisions—not hype cycles—this paper offers a grounded framework for evolving higher education without sacrificing its formative purpose.
