As a millennial, I agree!

Some of my students write and compile lit review sources via their phones on apps. This is just sorcery.

Time passed and I forgot about it. This is more annoying for those of us who have jobs, I'm thinking about the individuals who left academia due to lack institutional feedback/responses.

Today I was rejected for a job I applied for on Jan 15, 2021. Thankfully things worked out for me at BU moving to TT, but notifying candidates 5 years later is unacceptable. Academic job searches demand huge effort, closing the loop shouldnโ€™t take half a decade. Higher ed must do better.

Everytime I see one of these policies, I get upset thinking how we in higher ed dropped the ball. Higher Ed operated using the "trust me bro" method for so long, now many Americans/politicians don't trust or methods and practices. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Exploring Factors Influencing Administrative Spending in Higher Education Despite increasing financial challenges facing much of higher education, relatively little is known about how institutions allocate resources to different activities, particularly in areas other than ...

New working paper: I use detailed spending data from HelioCampus to look at universities' non-academic spending. Institutional budget models and centralization appear to influence administrative spending, and there are some strategic decisions made during tough budget years. (1/)

Many things are not sitting well with faculty/staff in Texas right now. This is added to the list for this campus.

Although this story is not new, what is higher doing?

This continues to be crazy to me. This one man held so much influence, that everyone had to be attached to him. How was all this possible. My question, who is this person today? Who is the person that all leaders in America/Higher Edu feel the need to connect with. Outside of the the current POTUS.

The orange glow that lit up the hallway and living room provided peace to my soul! Good ol' Kerosene heater.

Achieving our goals can provide an adrenaline and dopamine rush that is fulfilling and rewarding, but it is often short-lived as we must immediately tackle yesterday's deadline.

The race we participate in does not permit basic standards. Our environment demands that we surpass yesterday's achievements because they have become the average today. The rules are either evolving or being established by those who forget a time "when they were".

*Mic Check* Truth is, academia can be lonely. We miss the camaraderie of friends & accountability partners from grad school/post-doc life. TT positions often lack community & can be challenging. There has to be a better way, but until then, keep GRINDING, WRITING, PRODUCING, & keep your nose clean!

This moment will be studied. Not all relationships are perfect, and some relationships must come to an end. But let me be clear, I am not walking away, going to a bar. hahahah

New research by @imbernomics.bsky.social and colleagues using Texas data dives into different economic returns to college majors by race and gender. There are differences in the share of students going into high-paying fields, as well as earnings within those fields.

I would have chuckled at this years ago. Today, there is no laughter, as this may be foreshadowing.

We all anticipated this outcome after the Gov and several prominent Republican officials expressed their opinions. If this individual were not a student, they would have already been terminated. The goal of the investigation was to find evidence supporting the predetermined conclusion.

So disappointing to see this in writing and in our face, like we are clueless.
