Where the actual news is:

> To this end, the trustees have delegated authority to the provost, working with deans of all academic colleges, to develop and to review and update continuously, discipline-specific criteria and proficiency standards for a new campuswide “artificial intelligence working competency” graduation requirement for all Purdue main campus students, starting with new beginners in fall 2026.

So the Purdue trustees have "delegated authority" to people at the University to make a new graduation requirement for 2026.

Who knows what will be in the final.
