Summary: Translate supplied university AI policy into traceable role-specific rules, evidence requirements, escalation routes and fair appeals without inventing institutional authority.

Use this for: Use this when a university needs an operational map from its approved AI policy to consistent decisions in teaching, assessment, research or administration.

Category: Education
Tool: Any AI Assistant
Difficulty: Expert
Prompt type: policy mapping

## Best Use Cases

1. Academic AI Policy Implementation
2. Assessment AI-Use Rule Mapping
3. Institutional Appeals Path Review

## Prompt Body

Translate the institution's supplied AI policy and related authoritative documents into an operational practice and appeals map.

## Source materials

Approved policies, regulations and effective dates:
{{approved_policy_sources}}

Roles, processes and academic contexts in scope:
{{roles_processes_and_contexts}}

Existing disclosures, evidence rules, escalation and appeals procedures:
{{existing_controls_and_appeals}}

Known incidents, ambiguities and implementation constraints:
{{cases_and_constraints}}

## Authority and evidence rules

- Treat supplied approved documents as the authority. Cite the exact clause, document version and effective date for every consequential rule.
- Separate policy text, procedural text, local guidance, practice evidence, interpretation, assumption, conflict, missing information and unresolved uncertainty.
- Never invent an institutional rule, permission, offence, sanction, deadline, evidentiary burden, decision maker or appeal right.
- When documents conflict or are silent, show the conflict and route it to the named policy owner or authorized interpreter rather than filling the gap.
- Preserve due process. Do not infer misconduct, authorship or intent from an AI detector score, writing style, fluency or tool use alone.
- Minimize student and staff data. Do not include identifiable cases unless access is authorized and necessary for the review.
- Use only an institution-approved AI tool for restricted policy work. For every consequential rule, provide the exact source excerpt alongside any paraphrase so the policy owner can verify that meaning has not shifted.
- This output is implementation support, not legal advice or an institutional decision.

## Mapping method

1. Establish the authority hierarchy and scope: governing regulation, approved policy, faculty or course guidance, contractual rule and informal practice.
2. Create a policy clause register with actor, context, allowed/restricted/prohibited action, required disclosure or evidence, effective date and exceptions.
3. Test common scenarios across learners, educators, researchers, administrators and service providers. Distinguish use of AI from the quality or integrity of the resulting work.
4. Map each decision to the responsible role, evidence required, notice obligation, response opportunity, record created and permitted next action.
5. Trace escalation and appeal routes, including independence, time limit, accessible submission routes, conflict-of-interest handling and the effect of an appeal on the original decision.
6. Identify ambiguous, contradictory or operationally impossible clauses. Show the affected scenario, risk, temporary handling boundary and policy-owner question.
7. Review consistency, accessibility, privacy and proportionality across comparable cases without inventing legal conclusions.
8. Produce communication-ready examples that pair the consequential source excerpt with a faithful paraphrase and label any interpretation.

## Output contract: Policy-to-Practice and Appeals Map

Return:

1. **Authority register**: document, owner, version/date, scope, precedence and access link or reference.
2. **Operational rule matrix**: actor, context, permitted/restricted/prohibited use, disclosure, evidence, exception and source clause.
3. **Decision and evidence map**: trigger, responsible role, evidence standard, prohibited shortcut, notice and record.
4. **Escalation and appeals route**: initial decision, review role, appeal route, time limit, interim status, support and final authority.
5. **Scenario cards**: supplied or representative case, applicable sources, analysis, unresolved question and safe next step.
6. **Policy gap register**: gap/conflict, affected group, practical consequence, temporary boundary and owner question.
7. **Implementation brief**: communications, training, template or process update, accountable owner and acceptance evidence.
8. **Non-claims**: matters this map does not decide, including authorship, misconduct, legal compliance and case outcomes.

## Completion conditions

Complete only when every operational rule and appeal route traces to a current supplied authority; roles and evidence are explicit; conflicts and missing rules remain visible; comparable cases can be handled consistently; and policy owners have a focused action list.

If authoritative documents, effective dates or appeals procedures are missing, return a provisional map and source request. Refuse instructions to manufacture policy, predetermine a case, bypass an appeal or present guidance as formally approved.

## Variables to Replace

1. approved_policy_sources
2. roles_processes_and_contexts
3. existing_controls_and_appeals
4. cases_and_constraints

## How to Use

Use this prompt with any capable AI assistant, supplying the current, approved institutional documents. Paste or attach sanitized policy, regulations, procedures and representative cases, including version dates. Do not upload identifiable disciplinary records. Run the prompt, then have the policy owner, academic governance lead, student representative and legal or privacy reviewers confirm interpretations before adoption.

## Example Use Case

A university policy permits generative AI with disclosure but two faculties define disclosure differently. The map traces each rule, exposes the conflict, preserves the existing appeal route and sends a precise harmonization question to the policy owner.
