Get Down to College Business: The Great AI Debate: Embrace AI to What Extent? with Suzy Siegle and Melik Peter Khoury

In this episode of Get Down to College Business, Sarah Holtan convenes two forward-thinking higher education leaders—Melik Peter Khoury of Unity Environmental University and Suzy Siegle of Walsh College—to explore how AI is transforming colleges from the inside out. Moving beyond the simplistic “ban vs. embrace” debate, they discuss how institutions are embedding AI across grading, advising, student support, academic integrity, and curriculum design. The conversation highlights ethical AI policies, digital twins, reimagined assessment models, and the evolving future of work—while emphasizing the importance of teaching students to think with AI rather than misuse it. It’s a candid look at how campuses can move past hesitation and strategically build an AI-enabled future.
