This is what pisses me off about the current higher ed crisis. The humanities always take the fall for structural failures of admin or low enrollment.

We already have to justify our own existences bc STEMy depts and admin refuse to learn what we do!!
Where I work, grad student enrollment in Engineering and Business is down 70% and 40%, respectively.

Now, to cover the loss in revenue from these Departments, the rest of the colleges have to take MASSIVE hits. History Dept alone has cut/closed 6 TT lines. Forget about raises or salary equity. 🫠
Enrollment by international students from China dropped by 3 percent, from India by 4 percent, and enrollment from students from Mexico has flatlined. Here are the likely consequences for Texas' education and economy:

If they're dumb enough to try to use the military courts against Mark Kelly it will end up as an even more embarrassing black eye, because no matter how incompetent you think Halligan is, i can promise you Hegseth is worse.

CLASSY
Trump: "I was gonna talk about Pritzker and size. But when I talk about Pritzker I get angry because he's not letting us do the job. So I'm not gonna tell my Pritzker joke. You know, some speechwriter wrote a joke about his weight ... I refuse to talk about the fact he's a fat slob"

Senator Kelly’s remarks in the video are “a 100% accurate representation of what the law says."

“No American citizen should have to deal with this type of preposterous investigation.”

Pete Hegseth must be immediately called before both Houses of Congress and be told to his face in front of the nation and the world, that if he gives illegal or Unconstitutional orders, he will face prison for the rest of his natural life.

Girl, no.
Leavitt: "They were suggesting to the 1.3 million active duty service members in the military that if you think an order is illegal, you don't have to follow. That's actually against the uniform code of military justice."

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass

It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...
The night America’s doomed ruling class gorged on lamb, blood, and oil
For America’s deeply corrupt billionaires, time heals all wounds — even from a murderous Saudi prince’s bone saw.

This is the way.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

What if the Neanderthals made all the cave art and homo sapiens stole their ideas and killed them because they were creatives.
Archaeologists have analyzed 16 pieces of ocher unearthed at Neanderthal sites in Crimea and Ukraine. One piece was scraped into a crayon-like shape, and its tip had been resharpened—possibly a tool for drawing.

Such a fun and informative read — @johnlingan.bsky.social really outdid himself with this one. The best thing I can say about the book is that it has already made me a better listener, helping me hear new things in music while putting into words what I sensed but could not articulate.

When The Replacements' Courage Was at its Peak
On their 1984 album ‘Let It Be,’ the Minneapolis indie-rock wastrels spewed a message of working-class passion and outsider solidarity into the world's answering machine.
