Indeed. Ironically, when it comes to charitable spending, effective altruists haven’t actually been all that effective. It turns out that altruism is hard to scale.
What I, a relative normie, think "AI Safety" and "effective altruism" should mean: make sure ChatGPT isn't driving kids to suicide and that nonprofits use their money wisely and effectively

What it seems to actually mean: a bunch of Berkley doomers in a sex cult think the robot apocalypse is coming

I love Liz Phair. Although I have regretted buying some of her more recent albums.

Tickled to see my institution promoting this! 😜

The report says they are complements, which means you can have one without the other, which is the case wrt academic freedom & institutional neutrality. And you haven’t identified anything in the chancellor’s statement that violated academic freedom or institutional neutrality. You just dislike it.

The report says that academic freedom & institutional neutrality are complements, which is to say they are different things. Also, nothing about institutional neutrality prevents a university from stating that it doesn't endorse the protected statements of its faculty members.

Even if it is a violation of the institutional neutrality policy - which nothing you have said substantiates - it still isn’t an academic freedom violation. Again, you can just argue that he is wrong on the merits.

Institutional neutrality policies don't require universities to refrain from speaking about matters related to their mission or clarifying that they don't endorse the speech of faculty members. No one's academic freedom has been violated. You can just disagree with him on the merits.
