ChatGPT for Faculty
Image
OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu agreement is tailored specifically for the California State University (CSU) system, providing advanced AI capabilities for all employees and students. It offers the ability to build custom GPTs for sharing within campus workspaces, as well as the needed privacy and data protection, and other enterprise security such as single sign-on (SSO), and SCIM integration.
Faculty interactions with ChatGPT.edu are treated with the same level of care and confidentiality as other commonly used electronic platforms, such as email, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Office 365.
The CSU is strictly committed to user privacy and, as the CSU Safe and Responsible Use Guidelines lay out, the CSU has legal and operational obligations that may require access to user data in the services we offer. These activities are not intended to restrict, monitor, or utilize the content of legitimate academic and organizational communications.
We support faculty in their use of technology, while respecting their privacy and academic freedom.
