  Hi, Kimberly Mullins and team!

  I appreciated reviewing your work this week. Your values, policy thinking, and practical boundaries are coming together in a thoughtful way.

  A few highlights to recognize:

  • Including Education and Lifelong Learning and Open Access in your values adds clarity and direction for the academic context.
  • Your emphasis on piloting programs, classes, and research support with student and faculty input is a strong approach that aligns well with current recommendations in higher education.
  • I could not view your policy draft due to permissions, but the policy highlights you shared are excellent, especially around purpose, boundaries, privacy, disclosure, and oversight.
  • It is also encouraging to see your plan to create a Library AI Task Force with clear decision rights.

  Here are two opportunities to consider:

  1. Add a little more guidance on when disclosure is not needed
     Your transparency grid is clear and helpful. You might consider adding one or two examples where disclosure is not required so staff know they are not expected to label every internal or routine use. This can prevent both over disclosure and confusion.
  2. Set early targets for updates to Privacy and Technology Use policies
     You noted that Privacy and Technology Use policies will likely be affected first. Adding a simple target timeline, such as when you plan to prepare a draft or when you hope to gather campus feedback, could help keep the work moving and signal priorities to your team.
