The PMC strategy to address inequality is to diversify the composition of the student body at elite institutions. What about just funding public higher education?
I'm proud of MIT for eliminating tuition for people whose families make less than $200,000 per year.

Stanford already charges no tuition for families below $150,000.

The top universities in America are much more affordable than most people realize.

Really love your expressiveness - both body language and facial expressions. Terrific details add such a punch of personality to the characters :)

If you have a bit of time this weekend, I thoroughly recommend this talk by Chris Newfield on building a sustainable future for the humanities 🗃️
"The humanities' leadership has historically had one strategy … to accommodate the right, to plead universal values, to ask that the NEH not be killed, ... to beg for mercy. This strategy has kept the humanities in a permanent state of expendability." m.youtube.com/watch?v=MBAR...

I decided some time I wanna draw myself as every fursona I’ve ever considered, which is a longer list than you’d think.

Then I realized it might be a good thing to first pick what kind of dog my dogsona would be, because o don’t want the list to be like 40% different kinds of dogs.

Public disappointment with universities has reached epidemic proportions. Christopher Newfield suggests the answer lies in redefining #HigherEducation around intellectual and social benefits, not monetary ones.

Just watched this and recorded a podcast with @profgabriele.com and @greenleejw.bsky.social about how much we like it.
I have decided to watch "The Name of the Rose." Last time I watched it was on VHS, probably 20 years ago. I last read the book 10 or 12 years ago.

The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.

I can’t think of a single dystopian novel or movie that imagined our government filled not with aliens but ignorant conspiracy theorists, Russian assets, sex criminals and grifters.
