Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

I sent this text to my family on March 12. 10 weeks feels like both a blink and a lifetime. Where will we be 10 weeks from now?

Text message that reads: Do you think the general public understands the rate at which education, colleges and universities in particular, is being dismantled? Like my industry obviously knows - but do every day people get it?

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Well, crap. I didn’t know how to articulate the mechanics but this is one of the many things I was worried about over the past two weeks. The nightmare fuel is relentless.

I think about this conversation with John Thelin, who described this moment as a sort of inverse New Deal, a lot: “We’re talking about the character and essence of our universities for at least the next generation.”

Screenshot that reads: “It’s difficult to put moments into perspective as you’re living through them. But to John Thelin, an emeritus professor at the University of Kentucky who has made a career of studying higher education’s history, the efforts of Rufo, as well as of Cirino and politicians like him, have placed higher education at a crucial juncture—one that challenges not only the way universities are currently constructed, but also their core tenets, including academic freedom and shared governance.

“We’re talking about the character and essence of our universities for at least the next generation,” Thelin told me. The various governmental efforts to reform higher education—regarding admissions, curriculum, tenure, oversight—are sort of like the New Deal, he said. Typically, when an academic invokes the New Deal, they mean to suggest a positive, dramatic innovation. That’s not what Thelin meant, though: “I see it more as an unraveling.”
