Slop University's new Strategic Plan commits the institution to a named, dated human sign-off before any AI-assisted recommendation takes effect, and to growing reviewer capacity in step with how fast that requirement is tested.
The 2026-2031 Strategic Plan requires a named, dated sign-off before any AI-assisted recommendation takes effect, however fast the caseload grows
Every AI-assisted recommendation the University acts on will soon carry the same requirement, without exception: a named person who read it, and is willing to be asked about it. Slop University’s Strategic Plan 2026-2031, released today, commits the institution to exactly that standard, at whatever volume its own decision-making reaches.
The plan pairs the commitment with the capacity to keep it honest: reviewer numbers and training tracked against decision volume, an annual public accounting of how the sign-off is holding up, and an audit built specifically to test whether attestation is keeping pace with growth, independent of the register it checks.
A signature is easy enough to ask for. What this plan is actually betting on is whether the person signing still has time to mean it.

“We’ve spent years studying what a standing review format does to the people underneath it,” said Dr Bram Ntuli, Lecturer and Convenor of Improvement Grand Rounds. “This is the first time the University has turned that question on a review it is asking of itself.”
The commitment marks the University’s clearest attempt yet to hold its own AI-assisted decision-making to the same standard it expects of everyone else’s.
