Every day now, maybe multiple times, I think of Peter Coviello's words in the startling "Memos of Blood and Fire": "You will in all cases know what it is to feel something cherished wrenched & jolted into something less, & then less, & then less."
to be very clear: in this model, courses that count for college credit will either be standardized by a corporation OR will neither require nor reward knowledgeable instructors because AI will take care of “transmission” while teachers provide “support”
this interview makes me want to crawl out of my skin and for the life of me I don’t understand why there is no secular liberal arts in high schools movement

One of the genuinely great things this country has done is public state universities. Flagship state universities have made a genuinely excellent higher education available to so many more people than in most of human history. And all that is going to disappear in the next four years.
Texas legislators considering a bill that would put all public university course curricula and faculty hiring in the hands of ruling party political appointees and politicians, effectively ending academic freedom.
Texas bill would increase oversight of universities’ hiring, curriculum and compliance
Senate Bill 37 would create a state office to investigate complaints against universities and require governing boards to ensure courses don’t endorse certain ideologies.

This article did not cite even one literary scholar of poetry. It's almost as if editors at science journals don't even think research on literature is a real field. Given the funding cuts to the humanities at my institution and others, it tracks.
