The Investigations will find a fall guy for the problems with "culture" - it will be something ridiculous that protects them. (alcohol at parties, funds with no overhead costs.....)

These are just delay tactics - if they take long enough to "investigate", the outrage will die down and people will lose interest, vaguely remembering the Uni did something (investigate). By the time the uni concludes that prof. X didn't break any rules per se... people aren't paying attention

I'm not defending the use of AI, but ref letters are out of control. Three letters for each student for med school applications when, what 10%? are accepted. A reference letter won't move someone from the bottom of the pile to the top, so why request ALL the letters? The collective number of hours..

I don't think the republican base is going to care, no matter how bad it is. This is the same group that continually votes down amendments that would prevent child marriages. They only cared about the Epstein files because they thought Bill Clinton was in them.
