Many assume that “job insecurity incentivizes productivity [but] we know from studies that tenure does not measurably impact productivity, at least as far as publication and research is concerned.” - Tenure researcher Deepa Das Acevedo
Tenure Eliminated at Oklahoma Colleges
Regional and community college professors will no longer receive tenure; research university faculty are spared, with some exceptions.

isn’t it funny how we ‘recognise’ academic achievements and contributions to the field by giving people more work

I'm pointing this out because I get how hard it is to see people who have done horrible things not be held to account. But I worry if we think nobody ever is that just weakens our resolve to hold people accountable.

Correct!!!!
Every fucking government research grant is going to be about shoving AI into places it shouldn't be.
Attended an EPA webinar about the environmental education grant program this morning and proposals must address *both* the educational and environmental priority areas of AI and...drum roll please...water quality

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com and with your help, we have now paid rent for four Minneapolis families affected by ICE. Let’s keep it going!
Can we make it happen for a fifth family? Their total need is $2300.
