📚 New in the Journal of Ethics in Higher Education (Issues 8.1 & 8.2): AI in the classroom, the lecture hall and the boardroom

The latest issue brings together research from Tunisia, Egypt, Tanzania and South Africa on one shared question: how do universities use AI responsibly?

Four studies, four angles:

🔹 Why students actually adopt generative AI — A study of 221 Tunisian students finds that perceived ethics, habit and organisational support drive adoption more than ease of use. Perceived usefulness barely matters.

Mohamed Ali Bahrini & Eya Soltani
🔹 Governing AI before it's deployed — A new "Ethical Readiness" framework offers universities eight governance dimensions to check before rolling out AI systems — not after.

Mohamed Hussien Abdelaziz
🔹 Rethinking how we assess students — In Tanzania, 68 students, lecturers and staff describe AI as a genuine extension of thinking, not just a shortcut — and point to oral exams, reflective journals and AI-transparent reporting as ways forward.

Nabahani Kimboka & Abeid Hussein Rashid
🔹 Academic integrity in the ChatGPT era — Graduate students at a South African university weigh AI's efficiency against fears of blurred authorship and eroding critical thinking — arguing this is a governance issue, not just a discipline issue.

Stephen Mongwe, Geesje Van den Berg & Patience Kelebogile Mudau
Together, these articles map the space between AI adoption and AI governance in higher education — from student behaviour to institutional readiness.
