the revealed position of the republican party is that it thinks broad expansion of higher education — and especially its expansion for certain americans — was a mistake that must be rolled back

Anyone who’s had a parent go into long-term care knows Medicaid is a godsend that saves generations of family members from poverty and impossible choices. Thanks for listening

Can't believe we still have to say this in 2025: Yes, academics, you must use the mic. No, everyone cannot hear you if you just "speak loudly"

The brilliant concept here is "finding a way to get users to consent to constant tracking and recording so their data can be sold to advertisers, collection agencies, scammers, and the government." It will provide negative value to every single person who owns one.

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

I think it’s kind of interesting that so many cultural and political elites decided “learning loss” from remote schooling during a pandemic was so severe it was worth ignoring medical safety, while actual learning loss from AI is pervasive and growing and they all want to impose more of it on us.

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

Nobody should be using substack but when I see self-proclaimed ethicists touting theirs I get particularly irritated about it. Yes, doing the right thing is sometimes difficult or inconvenient. Still we do it.

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards. It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

Heard from a former (undergrad) student who just defended her PhD. Students: tell your old profs about your successes and achievements. It's not bragging, and we love to hear about it. It's one of the best parts of being an educator. #academicsky

The ideal of the university is one of intellectual and ideological diversity. That’s why we need to make a special effort to find faculty who will publicly offer rationalizations for disappearing students who wrote op-eds articulating disfavored political opinions

Trump’s executive order on accreditation is yet another attempt to dictate what is taught, learned, & said by college instructors & students. Threats to remove accreditors are transparent attempts to consolidate power in the hands of the administration in order to stifle teaching & research. 🧵
