Chabot College

At a glance
Chabot College's Academic Senate, led by Mona Abdoun, convened an AI taskforce in 2024–25 that struggled to reach consensus, prompting requests for more professional development. By Fall 2025 and Spring 2026, the college pivoted to faculty-led Flex Day sessions on teaching with AI, a student AI panel, and workflow demos, while embedding AI topics into existing courses in computer systems, philosophy, and automotive technology. No formal AI policy has been adopted; the college continues to explore approaches independently within its district.
