One effect of dismantling job security at a college in stages is that it encourages people with marginally more secure positions to keep imagining they have a vested interest in the institution's survival, even as the institution demonstrates its disinterest in the survival of those who work there.

Hey #QueensU, look at what you're missing out on!
I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Hey #QueensU, look at what you're missing out on!
😒Looking at you, #QueensU
I read 520 pp of McKinsey strategic planning documents for the University of Florida so you don’t have to. You’ll be shocked, *shocked* to learn these documents have nothing to say about the content of UF’s educational and research mission, and a great deal to say about workforce development. Long 🧵

LOUDER FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK! #QueensU
the playbook strategy used by consultants is uniform enough that faculty shd be able to point to the consequences elsewhere (e.g. WVU) & ask whoever & wherever they can, "how does this help access, equitability, or the academic mission?" & "where is the money going?"
I wrote an essay for @chronicle.com reviewing a new book that makes the case that more colleges should declare financial exigency to cut academic programs. The main audience of the book is institutional leadership and trustees, but faculty and staff should give it a read.

LOUDER FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK! #QueensU
Its the ease with which universities have suddenly the money to pay for AI subscriptions, AI professorships, AI workshops, AI everything while they reassure us that "there is no money" to pay grad students and precarious faculty living wages.
Can you imagine if the loudest voices in higher ed actually stopped to critically evaluate whether so-called "AI" tools are worth the documented and likely-but-not-yet-well-documented effects of their use?
Instead of being AI triumphalist, remembering that tech vendors are not our friends/saviors?
