The Due Process Deficit: Auditing AI Governance in U.S. Higher Education
Open accessAbstract
U.S. universities have met Artificial Intelligence (AI) with policy - revised honor codes, AI use guidelines, and detection tools to enforce them - but the procedural infrastructure that would let affected parties understand, contest, and seek redress for AI-related decisions has not kept pace. We present ACAI-US79, a benchmark dataset allowing for institutional auditing of AI governance across 79 U.S. universities spanning R1, R2, and teaching-focused institutions, and ACAI, the Academic AI Capacity Index, an interpretable measure of the public legibility of governance structures that allocate authority and accountability. Unlike prior audits focused on pedagogical guidance at elite or Rl-only samples, ACAI shifts the analytic frame to procedural accountability, evaluating four domains — policy clarity, faculty support, feedback mechanisms, and AI detection tool governance — through time-bounded review of institutionally authoritative materials. We find that governance capacity is systematically concentrated in rule articulation while mechanisms for participation, feedback, and procedural constraint are underdeveloped, and that AI research intensity is weakly correlated with AI governance capacity - i.e., we find that technical leadership does not translate into procedural accountability. We further show that LLM-based audits produce unstable institutional rankings, demonstrating the continued necessity of human judgment in high-stakes audit contexts. We release the dataset, audit instrument, and public website at http://acai-us79.org/ to support transparency, critique, and institutional self-reflection, laying empirical groundwork for accountable AI governance in higher education.

TL;DR
The paper audits publicly articulated AI governance across 79 U.S. universities and introduces ACAI, an interpretable index of procedural accountability across policy clarity, faculty support, feedback mechanisms, and detection-tool governance. It finds governance capacity concentrated in rule articulation rather than participation or due process, weakly correlated with AI research output, and not reliably reproducible by LLM-based audits.
Key findings
- Governance capacity is systematically skewed toward rule articulation: across institutional types, sizes, research intensities, and regions, Policy Clarity (A) and Faculty Support (B) outscore Feedback Mechanisms (C) and Detection Tools (D), leaving participation and due process undersupported.
- AI governance capacity is weakly correlated with AI research output: across the N=35 institutions ranked by both ACAI and CSRankings AI, Pearson r=0.17, Spearman ρ=0.19 (95% bootstrap CI [-0.15, 0.47]), Kendall τ=0.12. The highest ACAI score is University of New Hampshire at 81.82, followed by Portland State University and Stanford University at 80.30.
- LLM-based audits only partially reproduce human governance judgments: across temperatures, LLM rankings show moderate to strong ordinal agreement with human rankings (ρ=0.54–0.62), but mean absolute rank errors are 15–17 positions out of 79, with top-quartile misrankings up to 64–72 positions and bottom-quartile discrepancies of 0–8 positions.
- ACAI rankings are robust to weighting choices and individual annotators: across four weighting schemes, Spearman ρ=0.93–0.99 and Pearson r=0.93–0.99; leave-one-annotator-out recomputation remains strongly correlated with the full index (ρ=0.77–0.87, r=0.83–0.87). Inter-annotator agreement is modest at item level (Krippendorff’s α=0.24) and improves at domain level (α=0.30).
Methods
- The authors construct ACAI-US79, a benchmark dataset of 79 U.S. universities spanning R1, R2, and teaching/liberal arts institutions, selected purposively across U.S. Census regions and Carnegie categories. For each university, they collect institutionally authoritative links across seven categories and annotate governance indicators under time-bounded review.
- Human annotation was conducted by paid Prolific annotators, with each university independently annotated by three annotators; two computational PhD students independently annotated a subset of 10 universities for expert validation. ACAI aggregates four domains—Policy Clarity, Faculty Support, Feedback Mechanisms, Detection Tools—using scores of 1.0, 0.5, or 0.0, weighted baseline wA=2, wB=4, wC=3, wD=2, and scaled to [0,100].
- The authors compare ACAI against CSRankings AI research output and conduct an LLM study with gpt-5.2-2025-12-11, running three independent runs at temperatures τ ∈ {0.5, 1.0, 1.5} and requiring validated JSON outputs.
Limitations
- The paper states that the sample is limited to 79 universities and is USA-centric, so it may not generalize globally; it relies on publicly available institutional data, omitting informal practices or internal decision-making; and it excludes formal but non-public materials such as intranet pages, learning management systems, or password-protected policy portals, meaning ACAI should be interpreted as a lower bound on governance capacity.
- The text makes evident that subgroup comparisons are not confirmatory: the audit sample is purposive rather than probabilistic, subgroup categories are administratively defined and analytically coarse, and multiple overlapping contrasts are examined without correction.
- The text also makes evident that annotation agreement is modest and variable, and that LLM-generated rankings are unstable and frequently severely misrank individual institutions, limiting automated audit reliability.

The section “GPT detectors exhibit bias against non-native English authors” reports that seven detectors mislabeled more than half of the non-native writers’ TOEFL essays as AI-generated, while accurately classifying the comparison essays. The paper does not address neurodivergent writers, so it supports only the non-native-English portion of the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The paper reports that false-positive rates varied across tools (Human-Generated Content, p. 26) and that machine-translated texts had more false positives, putting L2 students who translate their own work at risk (False accusations, p. 20; Human-Generated Content, p. 26). This supports the concern for that specific group and condition, but not a general claim about all non-native English speakers. Our copy does not address neurodivergent writers. (LLM, conf=0.90)

In “GPT detectors exhibit bias against non-native English authors” (page unavailable), the paper reports an average false-positive rate of 61.3% across seven detectors and shows that they did not flag identical sets of TOEFL essays. The Figure 1 caption also describes standard-deviation error bars across detectors. These passages support variation, but they do not establish how widely the individual tools’ false-positive rates differed. (LLM, conf=0.78)

The Introduction (p. 2) and section 4.8 (p. 18) document substantial variation in institutions’ GenAI guidance, from brief or minimal guidance to extensive policies. Section 4.1 (p. 9) says half left classroom approaches to instructors and that guidance on code and STEM activities was vague. Those findings do not establish that many institutions relied on vague or decentralized guidance overall; the paper also reports extensive guidance at many institutions. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-25.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-25.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
