  • Why Asking "How Would You Feel If I Used AI?" Changes Everything About Academic Integrity - with Judson Curry, Dean, Liberal Arts & Sciences, Kishwaukee College
    Nov 13 2025

    It's YOUR time to #EdUp

    In this episode, part of our Academic Integrity Series, sponsored by ⁠Integrity4Education

    YOUR guest is Judson Curry, Dean, Liberal Arts & Sciences, Kishwaukee College

    YOUR cohost is Thomas Fetsch, CEO, Integrity4Education

    YOUR host is ⁠Elvin Freytes

    • How does Jud support faculty across diverse departments at Kishwaukee College from biology to English, & why does he believe non traditional students tend to be more intrinsically motivated & less likely to engage in academic dishonesty?
    • What innovative approaches is Kishwaukee implementing to make courses more "immune" to cheating, including scaffolded assignments & low stakes assessments, & why does Jud believe removing assignments that feel like "busy work" can reduce students' temptation to cheat?
    • How is Jud encouraging faculty to have honest conversations with students about AI use by asking provocative questions like "How would you feel if I used AI to grade your papers?" & why does he believe helping students internalize integrity is more effective than simply banning AI?

    In this episode, President Series #421, powered by ⁠⁠⁠Ellucian⁠⁠⁠, & sponsored by the 2026 InsightsEDU Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 17-19,

    YOUR guest is Dr. John Comferford, President, Otterbein University

    YOUR host is Dr. Joe Sallustio⁠⁠⁠⁠

    • How does a university with 2,400 traditional undergraduates partner with Antioch University instead of trying to chase adult learners themselves & why recognizing what you're NOT good at is strategic genius?
    • What happens when you're the ONLY college in Ohio offering free tuition for Pell Grant eligible students & how do you compete with big publics by focusing on "do vs. watch"?
    • How does a president build corporate partnerships with 22 employers offering $20,000 automatic scholarships & why is ditching the rankings rat race to focus on mission centric work the future of higher ed?

    Extended Conversation for EdUp Premium Members:

    • Why are most college presidents silent on social media while higher ed's reputation crumbles & what does active presidential leadership actually do for enrollment?
    • How did higher ed become a "pacifist" industry sitting on the bench while attacks rolled in & why does the average consumer only think of Ivy League when 3,990 other institutions exist?
    • What makes testimony from Ivy League presidents "unrelatable" to the heart of the curve & why does higher ed need voices from schools that actually represent most students?
