Five commitments

Five commitments, put into practice

These are statements of intent and practice. We do not publish external assurance or a reporting standard for them.

About these commitments

Published positions, not audited reports

ACLAS publishes these commitments on its own authority. There is no external assurance statement, no reporting framework and no third-party audit attached to them, which is normal for a college of this size but worth knowing before quoting them.

Each item below summarizes the commitment and links to the college’s page for the full text.

  • ACLAS's stated commitments
  • No external assurance claimed where none is published
  • Forward-looking targets labelled as targets, not results
  • Full text linked on aclas.college

Keep the context in mind These commitments are institutional material rather than program information. They sit alongside the college’s mission and vision and accreditation record.

Questions

Commitment questions

What these positions commit the college to, and what they do not.

What does the commitments section cover?

Five areas we publish positions on: the UN Sustainable Development Goals, diversity equity and inclusion, environmental sustainability, responsible AI, and our open source AI projects.

Are these commitments audited or externally verified?

We do not publish external assurance, certification or a reporting standard for these commitments. They are statements of intent and practice rather than audited disclosures.

Why does an online college publish an AI position?

Because our computing programs teach it. We state a responsible-AI position alongside the MCS, BSCS and the AI certificate programs, and run open source AI projects under our own name.

How does sustainability apply to an online college?

We have published a roadmap towards net-zero hosting by 2028. The main environmental lever for an online institution like ours is the infrastructure we rent rather than the estate we own.
