About this resource
This is a practical meeting workflow for committee and department operations. Staff paste key notes into ChatGPT to generate a consistent, structured meeting minutes draft that includes decisions, action items (with owners), deadlines, and open issues. The draft can then be pasted into the meeting record system, edited, and approved by the chair. Use cases: academic senate committees, program review meetings, hiring committees, curriculum meetings, and department leadership huddles. Human-in-the-loop safeguard: every minutes draft is reviewed and edited before sharing. Sensitive content should be summarized and anonymized; confidential details are never pasted into ChatGPT.
Equity considerations
This workflow supports equity by producing clear, consistent minutes that help colleagues with different communication styles, languages, or learning preferences. Prompts can be adjusted to produce plain-language summaries and action items, and staff are trained to anonymize sensitive details and verify accuracy so AI does not become a barrier for anyone.
