And again, from this excellent essay:
"The results, in a strict practical sense, don't matter. What matters is the process of getting them: the development and application of methods, the training of minds, the creation of people who know how to think about hard problems. If you hand that […]

I have been thinking about how #crypto and #AI are much more similar than we realize. Our thoughts are no longer our own. To anyone in #highered #academia and #publishing, how do we prove what is ours?

When universities police dissent rather than protect it, their claims to ethical purpose ring hollow. The genocide in Gaza has exposed the narrowing space for critique by students and scholars within institutions that once prided themselves on it. #HigherEd www.martijnboersma.com/universities...

The college student submits a help ticket to the IT department requesting help with child care. The email looks suspicious... probably not legitimate... but... it is accurate for a large part of our student body. #highered #CommunityCollege

It'll be the large (and the shady) academic publishers using AI in this way. AVOID THEM. These giant publishers, and their sketchy imitators, have never prioritized wisdom or academic principles. Publish somewhere else, ffs. #resistAI #highered

Okay, professor-types. It’s the end of the semester - how many stacks of books/papers do you have in your office? I count 7. 8 if I include the books currently in a bag waiting to be turned into a stack. #academicsky #highered

Patrick ‘Q’ Quilao, Dir of Graduate Admissions at SAIC, is giving the keynote at admitted students ARTBASH day. This is what every college admitted students day should be like. Even if my son doesn’t choose this school, he is being inspired.

🤔 "One-size-fits-all” uniforms only fit about 25% of Civil War soldiers. Yet in higher education, we still sometimes design learning that way.

We urgently need to overhaul our academic reward systems to incentivize impactful research that addresses real-world issues like digital health literacy, AI in education, or support for first-generation students, rather than just rewarding publication volume.

Screenshot from the Chronicle of Higher Education, showing computer science ans engineering as two of the fields with the most faculty seeking buyout offers.
Non-academics may not understand the significance of this, but losing 7 full-time faculty would be devastating to most programs.
Texas is showing us what Florida already learned. When #highered becomes a hostile environment, STEM faculty are often first to leave.
