A university program director needs a sourced overview of how comparable institutions are publicly approaching student use of generative AI, to inform a committee discussion next month. Which choice is most appropriate?

Answer: D — Use research for a cited, multi-source report, then check the key citations before the committee sees it.

This is a multi-source question where sourcing matters and there's time to wait, which is what research is for. Checking key citations remains necessary (d). A quick chat answer (a) or examples written without sources (b) risk plausible but unsupported claims for a committee audience. A faster model (c) addresses speed, which isn't the constraint here.
