AI IN POLICY DRAFTING AND INSTITUTIONAL REPORTS: SUPPORTING AUTONOMOUS GOVERNANCE THROUGH LANGUAGE PRECISION

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education has expanded beyond pedagogy and administration, entering the critical domain of institutional governance. In autonomous colleges, the precision of language in policy documents, institutional reports, and strategic plans plays a decisive role in shaping academic credibility, regulatory compliance, and institutional identity. This paper investigates how AI tools—particularly natural language processing (NLP), automated editing systems, and data-driven language analytics—can support the English department in drafting, reviewing, and refining key governance texts. It argues that English faculty, in collaboration with AI technologies, can significantly enhance the transparency, coherence, and strategic clarity of institutional documentation. Drawing on case studies, recent advancements in AI language tools, and policy frameworks from autonomous institutions, the paper positions the English department as a strategic ally in institutional governance in the digital age.
