Colorado College stands as a national model in higher education – especially small liberal arts colleges – in its thoughtful and deliberate use and non-use of Generative AI. We believe that our ability to critically evaluate GenAI ultimately highlights the true value of a liberal arts education, where our approach to critical and holistic learning lies at the core of everything we do. Accordingly, our critical approach to AI will be amplified further by our core institutional values – specifically antiracism and sustainability – alongside our College vision "to ignite the passion and potential of our students, and the entire CC community, to create a world that is more equitable, humane, and just." The systems, structures, and practices that have brought GenAI to its present moment, coupled with the deeply capitalist forces driving integration of the technology, are at odds with our commitment to be an antiracist institution, and one that strives to be inclusive and accessible. We continue to have much work to do in that regard. And our approach to GenAI will continue to be framed by such work.
