At a glance

San Jose-Evergreen Valley Community College District is developing a district-wide generative AI policy, with San Jose City College's Academic Senate already publishing student guidelines on academic integrity and FERPA-compliant AI use, plus a faculty guide. SJCC Academic Senate President Mark Branom co-chairs the statewide ASCCC AI Caucus, and both colleges have faculty representatives on that body. Evergreen Valley College has launched a full AI course sequence (AI 101–110) and an AI Entrepreneurship Certificate, while SJCC embeds responsible AI instruction in its digital-literacy curriculum.
