(KNOX) –
The state Board of Higher Education has approved to grant Chancellor Mark Hagerott up to 30 days of “developmental leave” to prepare to teach a class at NDSU on artificial intelligence, as well as complete a book on technological change.
Hagerott says he will prepare the syllabus for the course, work with instructors at NDSU, and will be available for lectures.
The Board’s vote was 7 to one.
Board member Jeffry Volk was the lone “no” vote. He said he’s hearing from a number of people both inside and outside of higher education about the proposal.
Hagerott says the field is new, but expanding rapidly. Hagerott says he will use the time in blocks during the spring, summer and fall.
