Oh, I think he fully understands. Those who never file a claim effectively subsidize those who do: that's how insurance works. This is just a pathetically obvious ploy to make ACA insolvent

And to support this thesis, the author ignores that the UC system consists of three different tiers of institutions, each with a distinct mission. Not everyone needs to, or should, go to Cal, UCLA, UCSD, etc.

They are closely related to the master logicians of the "Capitalism has its faults. Therefore communism is a clearly superior system" and the "the Democrats are mealy-mouthed on trans rights/ Palestine/ inequality. Therefore we should hand the election to the Republicans" variety.

I can't respond to this in the comments, so instead: I'm not telling anyone how to vote. I am explaining what strategic voting consists of. "Is" ≠ "should" You want to hand the election to someone who is hellbent on destroying you, bc the other candidate is "wishy washy"? Your choice.

If you can overcome the collective action problem, sure. But for any one individual voter, platforms are a given.

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The essence of strategic voting isn't holding out for the choice that perfectly matches your preferences, but voting for the one less likely to harm the people and policies you want to protect.

Yes, and since women are "birth warriors," those who have a c-section, get an epidural (for what is the worst pain a/one is likely to experience), or fail to nurse for at least 18 months have all failed

Either a symptom or a cause: total lack of range. So there's no "hmm, not sure I agree with 2 out of your 3 points," or "there's a tradeoff here between one bad and another," it's all "You NAZI fascist, *ist pig, how DARE you not divine every one of my ill-informed views and express each one"

100%, on so many levels. Endorsements are not part of the AAUP's stated mission, they invite backlash (so much for being a professional interest organization) and they create gradations of belonging

That ambiguity is precisely what worries me: well-written IN/AF policies distinguish between speaking for the university and in one’s private capacity.

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

So the Vandy declaration conflates academic officials as individuals (whose views are protected by academic freedom/ freedom of expression) and officials as representatives speaking on behalf of a university (statements constrained by institutional neutrality)

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

"universities — and their administrative leaders, including those in charge of academic units like schools, departments, and research centers — must refrain from taking institutional positions on political or social matters that are not directly connected to their core purpose"

Trust me when I tell you I know your pain

010 1

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

The Vanderbilt policy conflates the two: it's not that officials aren't supposed to speak on behalf of the university on political matters, but that they aren't supposed to speak out at all. That's *not* normal institutional neutrality.

120 2

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Oh, I agree! Whether by accident or intent, this policy doesn't differentiate between individual expression and corporate stances, which is one major reason for institutional neutrality policies.

030 3

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

And it really matters whether these rules constrain *corporate* political speech on behalf of the university (institutional neutrality) or *individual* speech (violation both of academic freedom and freedom of expression)

110 1

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

One important distinction is between constraining *individual* speech (which is a violation of academic freedom, freedom of expression, etc) vs. *corporate* speech (speaking on behalf of the university.)

150 5

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

If anything, institutional neutrality rules protect academic freedom by not institutionalizing a political orthodoxy (eg, "university X supports foreign policy A," leaving opponents of A wondering whether they can research and advance at X, and whether X will treat them equally)

170 7

Anna Grzymala-Busse @annagbusse.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Institutional neutrality should NOT be an attack on academic freedom or free speech. Such policies require that university officials not speak on political or social matters *on behalf of the university.* Individuals can express their *own* views at will!
