What are we asking for?

July 22, 2025

We propose clear protections regarding the use of GenAI, including:

  • The university cannot use GenAI to do work that should be done by union members.
  • You can choose to use these tools to help with your job if you want, but you will never be required to use GenAI, and your workload or deadlines can’t be based on the assumption that you use it.
  • If the university introduces new GenAI tools, they must provide training for everyone in our union.
  • GenAI will not be used in discipline, evaluation, or hiring decisions.
  • The university cannot use or sell your voice or likeness (such as photos, recordings, or written work) to train AI systems or for any synthetic reproduction.
