The thing everyone can do right now is to find your lane if you don't already have one and work that lane diligently and with commitment.

It only took me 2.5 hours but I figured out how to give 50 free views with this link: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/PTY45...

I'm sorry I can't share the other essays in the forum which are probably less cynical than mine - but the paywall is paywalling. And yes, I know about the typo 🤪

IU has the oldest Folklore Department in the country--no longer a major. Cognitive Science? gone! PhD programs also sacrificed. Full list here: www.in.gov/che/files/In...

So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...

Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees

Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.
