do we know of any universities/higher ed institutions that have explicitly stated resistance/refusal of genai as their official policy

to be clear refusal/resistance does not refer to teaching genai. ofc we need to teach it like any other subject. my op refers to institutional refusal/resistance to incorporate/use it in the teaching leaning process

Psychology at Bristol have stopped setting coursework essays because "not my job to mark essays chatGPT has written"

I think you've got those the wrong way round - surrender would be keep setting the coursework, keep marking it, just let chatGPT screw the grading. Resistance is changing process to go around chatGPT so it can't help. but i'm not really here to argue, we can think different things that's ok.

But it's not a good thing if coursework essays aren't being set anymore. That's a bad thing for the students who want to honestly learn. Resistance is finding a way to maintain that in the face of the challenge posed by ChatGPT's existence.

It also, I think, concedes something that should absolutely not be conceded: it grants ChatGPT implicit equivalence to a mind, because it assumes that you could never set an assignment where you'd be able to tell its output apart from actual thinking.
