Somebody wrote the free AI curriculum showing up on your campus. Almost nobody on the committee reads the byline.

Today's piece works through what that looked like the first time, when it was coding rather than AI, and what a department can actually do about it now. The short version is that higher education has a lever a school district does not: a vendor cannot adopt anything on your campus without a faculty member agreeing to teach it.

So here is the question, and it takes one sentence to answer.

What is the last piece of teaching material you were handed that you did not choose, and who made it?

Publisher courseware, a vendor AI module, a required PD platform, a textbook bundle with a portal attached. Any of it counts. One line is plenty.
