About this resource
ChatGPT is a conversational AI tool that can be used to speed up administrative workflows without requiring programming skills. Use case: An academic affairs team receives curriculum proposals and policy documents. Staff paste text into ChatGPT and ask it to (1) summarize key points, (2) compare against a checklist or template, (3) highlight missing sections or unclear language, and (4) draft standardized feedback for the submitter. The human reviewer then edits and finalizes the response. This approach reduces turnaround time, improves consistency across departments, and helps new staff ramp up faster by providing structured, repeatable review steps.
Equity considerations
This resource is free to use and accessible via a web browser, which supports equitable participation across staff roles and campuses. Embedding the workflow in Canvas or other shared systems provides a common point of access. To maintain fairness, avoid pasting confidential student or personnel data, and always pair AI-assisted review with human oversight to reduce bias and ensure consistent decisions.
