The California State University system spent $16.9 million last year giving ChatGPT to all students, faculty, and staff. We are asking the CSU chancellor not to renew the contract with OpenAI when it expires.

Yes! It is free! It’s 100% free! This is what everyone has been saying in the CSU.

Update: We added 500 signatures yesterday. Despite knowing how folks feel about generative AI, I’m amazed by this response.
Our union, California Faculty Ass’n, will be sending the petition to all members shortly. We aim to break 3K signatures and will deliver the petition to CSU admin in a week.
