Looks like most signatories are from private institutions and northeastern and pacific coast publics. Several nonprofit orgs as well.

Just a reminder that the neither the U.S. Digital Service (which has been converted into DOGE) nor OPM has any legal authority to direct every single federal government employee to give them a job summary. Literally no such authority at all.

So far, the most memorable thing about #SPSA2025 is meeting a colleague who was able to secure internal funding for SIXTEEN (16!!!) undergraduate students to attend and participate following their research methods course. Impressive.

College students in 2021 viewed First Amendment rights to be LESS secure than those in 2016, according to the Knight Foundation. Only 47% think freedom of speech is very secure/secure!

A lot of questions about the poll, but why are folks (1) asking people about agreement or disagreement with statements on a 100 point scale, and (2) then dichotomizing that scale, and (3) using the value of 61 rather than 50 to split agree and disagree?

Beware the UVA poll going around on support for violence & democracy tinyurl.com/uvacpoll I've never heard of firm; few details on methods/sample; and question wording is messy and non-standard. Our survey using more careful methods finds support for violence is extremely rare tinyurl.com/viol-poll

Americans are generally horrible at understanding the size of marginalized communities. Most Americans think almost 1 in 3 people are Jewish. Which is like… insane. We are only 2% of Americans. And only .2% of the world. 1000 of us being murdered, thousands injured… that reverberates.

Ah, so the US *can* declare vehicles too dangerous for public use -- but only if it's a niche product (in this case, one involved in 4 deaths over 3 yrs). It still won't touch the oversized trucks/SUVs that endanger all Americans who walk, bike, or use a smaller car. edition.cnn.com/2023/10/01/u...
