Campus graduation chaos shows higher education needs a serious moral reset
College graduation speeches say a lot about the state of higher education — sometimes without intending to. For every country singer who can "wow" the audience with a message rooted in gratitude, family, and purpose, there are two, perhaps three, speakers who are disinvited for speaking their minds or forced to endure student walkouts. Such is life on campus today:
Beyond Tool Adoption: A Practical Five-Stage Developmental Continuum for AI Literacy in Higher Education
arXiv:2606.00038v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a five-stage AI Literacy Continuum for higher education consisting of Not Yet Engaged, Uncritical Use, Informed Use, Critical Evaluation, and Improvement. The continuum addresses a gap in existing AI literacy frameworks, which define competencies but provide limited guidance for diagnosing learner starting points and developmental progression. Drawing on design-based implementation across credit-bearing courses and intensive...
Multi-Level Barriers to Generative AI Adoption Across Disciplines and Professional Roles in Higher Education
arXiv:2603.27052v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is rapidly reshaping higher education, yet barriers to its adoption across different disciplines and institutional roles remain underexplored. Existing literature frequently attributes adoption barriers to individual-level factors such as perceived usefulness and ease of use. This study instead investigates whether such barriers are structurally produced.
Tutor, Not Solver: Designing a Guardrailed AI Assistant for Learning in Higher Education: A Design Case of PeteChat
Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative AI tutors hold significant promise for higher education, yet designing systems that scaffold learning without undermining academic integrity remains an open design challenge. This paper presents PeteChat, a course-aligned AI tutor developed and deployed at Purdue University, documented through the lens of design-based research (DBR). Drawing on literature-informed design inputs, a pre-deployment baseline analysis of authentic student-system...
Ohio State reels from multiple scandals amid wider crisis in higher education
Ohio State University is facing multiple scandals, including allegations of sexual abuse within its athletic department.

Hybrid E-Assessment in Higher Education: Semi-Automated Grading of Paper-Based Written Examinations
arXiv:2606.08855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper examines the limitations of fully digital and partially digital e-assessment approaches in summative examinations in higher education. The analysis focuses on the didactic narrowing caused by closed question formats and on organizational, technical, and legal constraints that become particularly relevant in large student cohorts. As an alternative, the paper proposes a hybrid e-assessment approach that retains paper-based,...

Lack of childcare support for parents in higher education | Letter
Roberta Leem-Bruggen says she was working full-time hours in NHS settings but was considered a ‘non-earner’ and therefore not eligible for childcare supportJamie Evans’ letter on childcare eligibility and the “nerd tax” (28 May) strongly resonated with me because I have experienced versions of this problem throughout higher education. In 2020, I was a single parent studying for a clinical master’s degree. I spent over 40 hours a week on compulsory NHS placements while completing academic work.

Beyond Tool Adoption: A Practical Five-Stage Developmental Continuum for AI Literacy in Higher Education
arXiv:2606.00038v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy is increasingly recognized as a foundational competency for all university graduates. Yet students' engagement with AI tools often clusters at two extremes: avoidance driven by fear, mistrust, ethical concern, or lack of access, and uncritical reliance that produces fluent output while masking misunderstanding. Existing AI literacy frameworks provide valuable competency definitions, but most offer...
