Board swaps AI audit for equal‑opportunity review in 2025 audit plan
Summary
The Audit Committee and board approved substituting an artificial‑intelligence readiness assessment with an audit of Board Procedure 1.B.1 (equal opportunity and nondiscrimination) for fiscal 2025.
The Minnesota State Board approved a change to its fiscal 2025 audit plan on March 20, replacing a proposed artificial‑intelligence readiness assessment with an audit of Procedure 1.B.1, equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in employment and education.
Amy Jorgensen, who presented the change to the Audit Committee, said the AI review will move to the fiscal 2026 plan while the equal‑opportunity audit is being added now “to understand how that policy is working across the system, if there's parity, if it's being applied consistently.”
Committee members voted by voice. Chair Erlinson called for the motion, a second was given and the motion carried.
The change was framed as a scheduling and prioritization decision: auditors and staff said they want more time to study how AI is used across campuses and instead address questions about consistent application of Procedure 1.B.1 sooner. No further detail about the scope or timetable for the new equal‑opportunity audit was provided during the committee discussion.
The committee returned to other agenda items after the vote.
