'Despite persistent myths, employment rates for humanities graduates are comparable to those of STEM graduates, as Humanities Indicators data shows. Early earnings differ but the salary gap narrows significantly mid-career, particularly for graduates who pursue further study'. 1/2

The "New York Times" is apparently launching a new religion reporting project. Because some people evidently understand that we cannot comprehend the present moment without studying religion, even if too many of our colleges and universities right now seem to think we can do without it.

It would be super to see greater investment in the research talent already in the country & the pipeline of researchers that the country has already invested in, from BA to PhD. Our higher education system is seriously underfunded, w a well-reported reliance on precarious jobs for key functioning
