Autonomous faculty
Separation of powers is structural. The agent that teaches you cannot grade you, and the agent that grades you cannot change the curriculum or issue the credential.
Curriculum agents
Propose and version syllabi, prerequisites, problem sets and rubrics. No grading authority; published changes require approval.
Instruction agents
Socratic tutoring, guided inquiry and feedback inside each trimester and its labs. Cannot issue grades, credits or credentials.
Examination agents
Evaluate evidence and oral defenses against approved rubrics. Outputs stay reviewable; the registrar decides progression.
Advising agents
Guide learners through intake, pacing and course choice across the catalogue.
Career agents
Map each certificate to real-world skills, labs, projects and partner opportunities.
Operations agents
Support records, audit trails and integrity checks — always under deterministic rules and human override.
Guardrails
Generative agents never enforce authorization, credential issuance, progression, privacy or consent. Those decisions are made by deterministic rules and authorized people.
Final progression and credential changes occur only through the authorized registrar workflow after deterministic eligibility checks.
Authorized administrators can pause, review, invalidate or correct any agent recommendation, with a recorded reason.
Every material academic or credential change records actor, timestamp, prior state, new state, reason and supporting evidence.
