AAUP NC's Genuine Intelligence Project is a grant-funded AAUP initiative that interrogates the use of generative AI in the university. The project’s goal is to make sure that faculty and student voices are included in decision-making processes related to generative AI on our campuses. We want to begin a conversation about the ways that generative AI may impact labor and academic freedom within the university.
In April, we got started on this work by launching a survey for all students, faculty, and other knowledge workers in the UNC System. Please take our survey and let us know how generative AI is affecting you and your university.
If you’re interested in joining AAUP NC’s generative AI working group, email us.
The North Carolina State Health Plan is currently almost one million dollars in the red—in no small part due to the majority in the NC General Assembly's neglect of the wellbeing of public employees and their families. And now, the SHP administrators and their bosses in Raleigh are planning to pass those losses on to us—even as they have refused to give us meaningful raises and our real wages have gone down.
The SHP is currently running a member feedback survey, because "Your responses help us to understand what is most important to you and where we can improve our services." But as one of our colleagues put it, "It's clear they are planning to screw us and the questions are designed to pick the way they are going to screw us." We still encourage you to take the survey, because you can let them know that you won't stand for the further degradation of our living and working conditions. Once you’ve taken the survey, let us know about it here.
