Wow. "Virginia State terminates 6 professors without due process. Campus security escorted the professors —5 tenured and 1 tenure-track— to their cars and issued no-trespass warnings. They have received no written explanation for their dismissals."

James Talarico is a unicorn: a Bible-thumping progressive Democrat who can justify his pro-abortion stance by quoting that book. He can flip Texas. #acadsky #Universal Basic Income

If you think about academic tenure, I highly recommend this piece by Jacquelyn Bridgeman which, among other things, shows what it can look like when _any_ faculty member can sit in on tenure proceedings and review documents. #acadsky

Gang @evernote.bsky.social would now like to charge me an extra $100/year for...AI something something? I just need a place to stick tidbits that are useful for teaching and research across a handful of devices. Low cost and low risk of enshittification a plus. What are your suggestions? #acadsky

Elsevier and Springer Nature had profit margins in 2023 that rival those of large tech companies.

Open access publication fees for some of the biggest publishers (Range is $200 to $12290)

My students and average people are often surprised to learn that academics pay a fee to publish a open-access paper in a journal, and _always_ surprised to learn that those fees can be as high as $12000 USD. #acadsky

I am still unsure whether in cases like this, it's more the reviewer's or the editor's fault. To the editors out there: Have you ever rejected/not used a reviewer's report AFTER retrieving it, realising their lack of qualification for the particular paper? #acadsky #peerreview
