AI is changing higher education faster than most institutions are prepared to handle — and faster than most faculty have time to track.
The tools are multiplying. The threats are real. The institutional decisions are being made, often without faculty voice in the room. And the professional development available to most faculty on this topic is either too shallow to act on or too technical to be useful.
AI Ready Faculty exists to close that gap.
This is a community built specifically for higher education faculty — not for administrators, not for tech enthusiasts, not for people who are already deep in the AI space. For faculty who are trying to do their jobs well in an environment that is shifting underneath them.
On the tools side, we focus on what actually works in a faculty context. Practical prompt guides, tool walkthroughs, and discipline-specific use cases for teaching, research, and course design. Not overviews of every AI tool on the market — focused guidance on what earns a place in your workflow.
On the threats side, we have the conversations most professional development skips. Academic integrity in the AI era. Surveillance and monitoring tools being adopted by institutions. Deepfakes and synthetic media. Job displacement. What AI is doing to publishing, to assessment, to the nature of student work. Not alarmist — just honest about what faculty are actually navigating.
On the policy side, we track what's being decided and by whom. Institutional AI policies. Accreditation developments. Government regulation. Faculty governance responses. The decisions that will shape how you teach and work, whether or not you were part of making them.
Twice-monthly live sessions with Dave. A growing resource library of recordings, prompt templates, and policy summaries. A faculty forum where colleagues across disciplines work through the real questions together.
The goal is not to make you an AI expert. The goal is to make sure you are never caught off guard by what AI is doing to your profession — and that you have the practical skills to work with it on your own terms.
