It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

Reading a copy of a book I’ve been teaching since the age of the course pack. Bring pack the course pack.

Amazing. Also, love the letterhead program. My close reading is that it faintly and ironically echoes the residual genre of the campus visit itinerary.

I'm off to drop the bomb,
So don't wait up for me.”

AI is the intellectual equivalent of styrofoam: it’s cheap and easy for the individual user, but poisoning the ecosystem for everyone forever.

Something about the way LLMs build in the idea that to find something out, you shouldn't read an already existing text that other people have also read (ew!); you should get fresh text generated just for you. Each time, new disposable text.

Friendly reminder that Instructure, parent company of Canvas, is owned by KKR, a private equity firm that purchased it for $4.8 billion last November.
