This is fucking appalling. This is university-administrators’-heads-should-roll appalling.
The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
College approached and paid student to write op-ed in The Dartmouth
The Dartmouth ran the article on Nov. 17 without knowledge that the College had been involved.

Also hearing from an EPA worker that people there are being told they have to submit their 5 accomplishments to OPM tonight, too -- contrary to OPM saying never mind on this.
It's not lost on this employee that the "amount of hours lost to this task" are the antithesis of government efficiency.

So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

Faculty have more in common with students than administrators but they think they have more in common with administrators than students
That U.S. academics didn't collectively develop strong labor consciousness is really going to bite them in the ass as universities bend the knee to this administration. Politely worded letters to presidents and trustees are not going to count for much of anything.

Pro-tip for university administrators: when the government illegally cancels your grants, your first response shouldn't be "you kind of have a point."
Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

What shocks me is how many professors, administrators and students who blithely use LLMs do not know this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I am going to repeat something I have said before: for at least 20 years, faculty have warned administrators about bad faith political attacks & administrators have been very slow to respond.
This makes me angry.

The accusations against Claudine Gay were absolute garbage, but they worked, so of course this is continuing. College administrators need to PROTECT THEIR FACULTY from bad-faith, politically motivated, bullshit accusations.
This is a witch hunt targeted primarily at scholars of color who study race.

To read the university’s triumphant all-campus email about restored NIH funding, you’d think UC administrators made it happen. But that’s not true. In fact the UC *Faculty Association* organized the lawsuit; administrators kept their heads down and hoped it’d go away.
