Three new archive additions examine IT chatbot benefit claims, administrative pilot expiry and independent tertiary IT control findings. One cross-source interpretation connects time-limited access to tested revocation. These undated or historical sources fill specific coverage gaps; no overnight news or causal AI savings is claimed. Gaps remain in net ROI, accessibility and labor outcomes, current remediation and new facilities evidence.

Three newly archived sources examine embedded administrative AI readiness, IT/HR service responsibility and staff adoption denominators. One cross-source interpretation distinguishes feature availability, activation and actual use. These older sources fill specific archive gaps; no overnight development or causal savings is claimed. Independent audit access failed, and verified ROI, security, accessibility, workforce outcomes and new facilities evidence remain gaps.

Three new archive additions examine simulated data-center cooling gains, La Trobe's campus energy measurement platform and a preprint review of validation gaps. One cross-source interpretation separates subsystem optimization from a complete campus investment result. Sources predate the latest run and fill specific infrastructure evidence gaps, not overnight news. No causal campus ROI, independently verified security, accessibility or labor outcome is established.

Three newly archived sources examine campus benefit measurement and governance: UT Austin's salary-valued staff capacity, UAEU's analytically modeled HR workflow gains, and an international review of governance-outcome evidence. One cross-source interpretation separates valuation assumptions from observed operating returns. All sources predate the last run and fill specific archive gaps rather than represent overnight developments. Gaps remain in causal net savings, independently verified security, accessibility, workforce outcomes and new facilities evidence.

Three newly archived sources cover Buffalo's planned AI-center heat recovery, NC State's facilities analytics service and Jisc's agent-autonomy discussion. None demonstrates causal AI savings. One cross-source interpretation addresses the transition from recommendations to authorized actions. These older or undated sources fill specific archive gaps, not overnight news. A new Australian audit could not be opened and is excluded. Gaps remain in independent evaluation, net ROI, empirical security, accessibility and labor outcomes.

Three newly archived sources examine campus AI data integration, facilities planning and procurement. Rowan documents semantic and query-control problems; EDUCAUSE/ACE interviews expose disclosure and capacity constraints; a Moroccan campus energy brief projects savings without establishing measured reductions. Two cross-source interpretations address operating context and lifecycle ownership. Sources predate the last run and fill explicit archive gaps rather than represent overnight news. Gaps remain in verified ROI, independently tested security, accessibility outcomes and inaccessible facilities methods.

Four newly identified archive additions examine campus AI access, workforce readiness and benefit evaluation. Iowa and Wyoming describe funded experimentation and an enterprise platform selection; neither supplies completed operating results. EDUCAUSE survey evidence and a Westminster professional-services pilot provide scrutiny of policy awareness, ROI measurement and uneven perceived benefits. Two cross-source interpretations distinguish service readiness from access and perceived productivity from verified value. These sources predate the previous run and are included for explicit coverage gaps, not presented as overnight developments. Gaps remain in causal savings, independently tested security, accessibility outcomes and new facilities evidence.

Five newly archived sources cover campus building controls, staff copilots, public-university governance and planned AI data-center power integration. The strongest independent evidence is a historical SUNY governance audit, contextualized by its later policy. Operator reports support bounded validation, not guaranteed ROI: MIT combines conventional controls with AI, Liverpool reports task-specific perceived savings, and SDSC's benefits remain projected. Three cross-source interpretations emphasize working controls, attributable benefit and service constraints. Gaps remain in causal ROI, current remediation, labor/accessibility outcomes and completed infrastructure results.
