"Why does this exhaust shaft have no guard railings? It would cost comparative pennies to add them. Sure, it would obstruct the shaft slightly, but that would only be an issue for solid objects, not ventilation..."

I don't think so at the screener stage. If anything they are a useful control against suspicion that written materials might be AI-created. Maybe a candidate in a Zoom screener could use AI to listen and guide responses? If so that might (unfortunately) push us back toward in-person screeners.

Teaching students is a huge part of it, but beyond that, universities are sites of civilizational production, preservation, and transmission. That requires time and resources for deep, thoughtful research, and it requires some real measure of independence from political and economic power structures

-Hirschgarten in Munich is arguably better and more authentically local than the Englischer Garten
-Augustiner biergarten near the train station is perfect for a quick visit
-Nuremburg is a great introduction to almost every part of German history, and a fun town. Get the mini-bratwurst.

(in no particular order)
-Deutsches Museum (including the airport annex)
-Kloster Andechs
-Castles are worth a visit, though I liked Hohenschwangau better than the more famous Neuschwanstein. Burg Eltz on the Mosel beats them both because it's real.
