New resource: the Student Voice Integration Framework is now available.

At the AACC Future Focus Forum, T3 Advisory founder Audrey Ellis and CCCSE Executive Director Linda García presented national data and practical tools for bringing student perspectives into institutional AI adoption.

CCSSE and CCFSSE data from more than 70,000 students and 3,000 faculty revealed a significant disconnect: students are using AI and forming opinions about it, but most institutions are making AI decisions without structured student input.

The Student Voice Integration Framework maps engagement mechanisms to six decision areas, from governance to workforce partnerships. Each area offers three tiers of engagement designed as entry points, not a ladder. Foundational approaches like surveys are valuable in their own right when results reach the people making decisions.

The framework, along with T3's full AI Readiness Survey Pack and implementation toolkit, is free and open access.

Higher education practitioners have been describing the same problem for over a decade. They call it "initiative fatigue," "shiny object syndrome," or simply: too much, too fast, with too little support.

The problem is well known. What's been missing is a framework for doing something about it.

T3 Advisory's new initiative fatigue framework identifies three levels where fatigue takes root: institutional, management, and individual. At each level, specific conditions push toward exhaustion or toward resilience. The framework helps leaders diagnose which contributors are active on their campus and deliberately strengthen the remediators on the other side of the spectrum.
