VT Religion and Culture is truly such a gem of a department and is absolutely stacked with amazing and kind scholars. I’ve benefitted immensely from the generosity of my colleagues and know how much we all have given to our teaching and service. The shortsightedness of this decision absolutely blows

I don't think we can fight AI creep by weaponizing grades. Nobody learns anything if we decide our job is to be plagiarism mall cops. If we don't win this argument at the level of process, convincing students they CAN'T learn what we have to teach them if they outsource to AI, we won't win at all.

Extrapolating from history: the labor market will cannibalize mid-tier knowledge workers, burn out senior knowledge workers, then shout at colleges & govt for not making enough labor-market ready grads, then govt will blame moms for not making K-12 prepare kids for college pre-labor-market skills.

Secularists on the internet are so funny to me… like, I dunno, all these women look quite distinct…? Maybe I’m just built different. What they do have in common, however, is a deep swag, impeccable textile taste, and a layering game that is unsurpassed.
