Council Charge

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming education and the workforce, creating both opportunity and risk. Establishing a clear, mission-aligned framework for how HCCC adopts, governs, and invests in AI will ensure innovation advances student success and institutional excellence while protecting equity, ethics, and data security.

The Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Governance Council (AISGC) is charged with shaping 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s long-term approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) strategy, policy, and infrastructure in direct support of the 2024–2029 Strategic Plan. Anchored in Strategic Direction #2 (Unlocking Unlimited Student Potential), the AISGC provides broad oversight of the College’s adoption of AI by shaping policy and governance, reviewing projects and acquisitions, and recommending tools and practices that responsibly support teaching, learning, and operations while upholding the College’s mission and values.

The Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Governance Council (AISGC) will:

• Draft and maintain institution-wide guiding principles that express the College’s stance on responsible AI use, reflecting HCCC’s mission, values, and equity commitments.
• Create and maintain AI usage guidelines to translate principles into practical direction and ethical application for faculty, staff, and students, and audit existing institutional policies and procedures for alignment.
• Engage and coordinate with college governance bodies to refine, vet, and communicate AI principles and guidelines across the college community.
• Recommend learning opportunities that enable students, faculty, and staff to develop AI literacy and deepen their understanding of AI’s capabilities, limitations, ethical considerations, and impact on education and the workforce.
• Assess and recommend AI infrastructure and tools to support the College’s strategic goals and instructional innovation and establish evaluation and vetting processes for new technologies and use cases with clear criteria for data privacy, security, and accessibility, and pedagogical alignment.
• Determine the key performance indicators and assessment methods for AI adoption and effectiveness in implemented use cases.
• Recommend long-term organizational structure and staffing to sustain AI development, tool and use case vetting, and integration across programs and services.
• Form focused working groups to explore emerging AI priorities, study opportunities and risks, and advance recommendations on strategy, policy, and technology.

Through its work, the Artificial Intelligence Strategy and Governance Council (AISGC) positions HCCC to confidently integrate and scale AI in ways that drive innovation, protect the College community, and advance institutional goals with clarity and accountability.
