You know I'm open to both of these arguments but, again, note that CS and computer engineering look much better by the other metrics in this very same report. Not a neat story one way or the other and it's OK to dial back predictions.

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o... There's stuff in here that I didn't even know about. All impeachable offenses IMO.

The only real issue here is that Up is much better than Reveal. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

"They did not pass other major higher-education initiatives, including Pritzker’s plan to allow community colleges to offer four-year bachelor’s degrees in certain high-demand career fields, and a long-sought overhaul in the way Illinois funds its universities." www.news-gazette.com/news/capitol...

The ground has officially been broken for Illini Hall, a new state-of-the-art facility slated for replacing the one that was demolished on Wright Street in 2023.

"the second instalment of the Silents Synced series will see Buster Keaton’s visionary 1924 comedy Sherlock Jr. matched to R.E.M’s 1994 album ‘Monster’ and 1996 release ‘New Adventures in Hi-Fi’." www.nme.com/news/music/n...

Welcome to campus, Chancellor Isbell!

BREAKING NEWS: Charles Lee Isbell Jr. will become the U of I’s 11th chancellor. Isbell is currently provost at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and previously served as dean of the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Let me know if you have any interesting in participating in symposium submission to AERA this cycle. Our team has a paper on nationwide computer science education policies and their effects, which could go in multiple thematic directions (CSed, teacher production, undergrad major choice, etc).

Quite the cast.

The thing is that if I'm coding in Stata I'm already probably doing the work I most want to do. That's not when I need motivation!

Please let us know if you’re interested in joining our AERA symposium submission below!👇 Our paper is about the impact of computer science (CS) education policies.

I get the schadenfreude for Columbia for falling to its knees so readily, but this (I think?) means that Columbia students may no longer get federal student loans This escalation should freak out anyone attending a US university

Any institutions currently "negotiating" with the administration PLEASE NOTE -- Columbia disgraced itself and got *nothing*

"The bill...requires the State Board of Education to develop statewide guidance for school districts and educators on the use of artificial intelligence in elementary and secondary education."

CTU threatens to sue over proposed CPS budget cuts www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/04/c... "The union settled a new $1.5 billion four-year contract in late April...In recent weeks, CPS suggested delaying the proposals outlined in the new union contract...given challenging financial circumstances"

ED has reported to Columbia's accreditor that it "violated" anti-discrimination laws and thus has not met accreditation standards. This is the feds telling an accreditor that they should punish a uni because ED wants them to. The iron triangle is in such danger... www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Been chatting with folks who've lost their jobs and several said it would be nice to learn about how to get into consulting work. So I said I could put something together on that! Webinar next Thursday at 1pm eastern. (Thanks AEFP, APPAM, NCME, & SREE!) Register here: aefpweb.org/ev_calendar_...

They're literally doing the meme

Inside Illinois’ FY 2026 budget: little to no new funding for K-12 schools, early childhood education www.chalkbeat.org/chicago/2025... Not sure I'd put it that way if there's like $400 million new dollars for prek-12.

"the Education Department updated its website late Monday afternoon, June 2...The department published a sparse Part I highlights report on five topics." Nothing says "government efficiency" like doing less, late.
