![BFA General Assembly Notice of Motion
Resolution calling on the chancellor to engage faculty in OpenAI contract negotiations
BFA-26-28-09-1-R
Whereas generative AI constitutes a technology that concerns pedagogy, curriculum, research, scholarly or creative works, and academic ethics; and
Whereas the University of Colorado Regent Law stipulates that “faculty have principal
responsibility for decisions concerning pedagogy, curriculum, research, scholarly or creative
work, academic ethics”; and,
Whereas the Boulder Faculty Assembly and the Boulder Faculty Senate are the campus-wide
faculty governance bodies for expressing faculty voice on matters concerning “pedagogy,
curriculum, research, scholarly or creative work, academic ethics” and
Whereas the vendor OpenAI has demonstrated repeatedly that they do not prioritize the ethical
principles commonly adhered to by higher education institutions, such as intellectual property
rights, student health and wellbeing, end-user privacy, environmental stewardship, and
socioeconomic stability.2
Be it Resolved that the Boulder Faculty Assembly call on the chancellor of the Boulder campus to
not renew or extend the contract with Open AI.
Be it Resolved that the Boulder Faculty Assembly call on the chancellor of the Boulder campus
to consult a faculty-led working group, chosen in conjunction with the Boulder Faculty Assembly,
to negotiate any renewal or extension of the Open AI contract for the Boulder campus.
Be it further resolved that the university administration work with the Boulder Faculty Assembly
and college faculty governance groups, as appropriate, to develop an AI strategy that meets the
various needs of our campus community before initiating, extending, or modifying any AI contracts, so that we minimize 1) disruption to undergraduate education, 2) endangerment of intellectual property rights, or 3) potential harm to the wellbeing of our community.
