At Marquette University, we are taking a human-first approach to generative AI, grounded in our Catholic, Jesuit mission. Our holistic education model means integrating AI thoughtfully and responsibly into coursework.
Any integration of AI into the curriculum, research or operations must be considered responsible, effective and aligned with the university’s Catholic, Jesuit mission. The university maintains that responsible use of generative AI at Marquette depends on mutual trust, shared responsibility and open dialogue.
Here, learning is not just about producing answers or completing assignments. It is about developing critical thinking, ethical judgment, curiosity and a personal voice, preparing students to serve others and lead with integrity in an increasingly complex world.
AI tools are increasingly common in academics and in the workplace. When used thoughtfully, AI can support learning and creativity. When used unreflectively, it can undermine the very growth students are here to experience.
As a community, we have a moral duty to navigate shared responsibilities around data stewardship, academic integrity and legal obligations. They are not meant to discourage experimentation or innovation, but to ensure that students, faculty and staff can use AI tools confidently, responsibly, and without unintended risk to themselves, the institution or others.
