SDSU students call for canceling OpenAI contract
Dozens of San Diego State University students protested, urging the California State University system to end its OpenAI contract. CSU signed a $17 million no-bid deal in 2025 and renewed it for three years at $39 million. Students cited concerns over AI's impact on writing skills, job cuts and ethics, while officials tout the system as the first AI-powered public university system.
