An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

How much money did he pay Trump Family for this release? $1 million has been the going rate.
He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

Do they teach this in journalism school? Are there classes where the lesson goes “the way to do headlines is uncritically repeat whatever officials say, regardless of veracity, that’s the job”?
And if they’re not taught that, if that’s not the field’s chosen standard, why do so many editors do it?
