Project and operator

University AI Policy Tracker is a Canadian public-interest EdTech initiative operated by an independent Canadian company. Founded in May 2026, the project operates on a public-interest, non-commercial basis. Founder and operator: Sam Song. Contact: [email protected].

Overview

The project turns fragmented official university pages into source-attributed, citation-ready records. It is designed for researchers, universities, maintainers, and agent or data integrations that need a durable public record, not a login-only SaaS product.

Public Infrastructure And Impact

The following signals are intentionally tied to public, reproducible sources:

• Public release scale: As of the public-release-20260801-001 release

• Distribution: As of 2026-08-08, the public API index lists 43 versioned

• Maintenance: The repository has 317 commits through 2026-08-01. The

• Evidence discipline: Public records retain official URLs, source

Production deployment and maintainer-only operational procedures live in the runbooks under docs/, while this README focuses on the public contract, contribution path, and evidence boundary.

Current Status

The project is now a public beta of an evidence-backed policy database, not just a link directory. It includes crawlable university reference pages, versioned public JSON, source-backed claim records, policy analysis pages, coverage dashboards, review workflow surfaces, feeds, widgets, and MCP-oriented metadata for agent integrations.

Current public release:

• Release: public-release-20260801-001 (published 2026-08-01)
• Universities: 828
• Claims: 5476
• Evidence records: 5741
• Official source attributions: 3195
• Entity review states: 827 agent_reviewed, 1 needs_review
• Claim review states: 5472 agent_reviewed, 4 needs_review
• Source languages represented: 61 language tags across the evidence set

The public release has no current audit issues from pnpm audit:public-data. The data is source-backed and review-labeled, but it is not legal advice, academic integrity advice, or an official university statement unless the linked source is the university's own official page.
