Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It could be a good use case, assuming AI works but actually it doesn't. So I'm not actually convinced there are good use cases, except maybe my friend the statistician who has it generate data sets that don't have to be accurate 😂 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Article paperwork signed, article revisions resubmitted. Now, if I could find some time to code all my data, I would be onto something 011
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026buygbr.com/item/urinals Can I get them gift wrapped? There are a few admin who I would like to send a special gift tobuygbr.comOriginal Memorial Stadium Mens Urinal TroughThere are stadium collectibles you expect to see. Seats. Signs. Furniture.

Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The AI version was hindered by meaningful student-teacher relationship 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I cannot say I'm digging it at the moment 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I mean, it's been the conservative education project since Brown 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Are your programs online synchronous or asynchronous or some.of both? 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026There is no good faith case to be made that you should cut the most underpaid department in the college of Ed that produces the most graduate students in the college. You cannot make that case in good faith. And so they didn't 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Whatever they thought the process was violated shared governance at every turn and was not done in good faith. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026And in fact every department had a strong case under do not eliminate, whether it was enrollment (250 graduate students, high PhD producing, most graduate students graduated in the college) or uniqueness of program (stats, EAS, textiles) 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The admin's response on e again has been, stop whining, we followed procedure. Except if you read the APC report it says, we don't agree with this. And the admin that brought the proposal voted on it. Had they not, all programs would have received a do not eliminate vote. 110
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026UNL is a fundamentally unserious institution and should be treated as such 050
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Once upon a time there was an Executive Vice President who said you cannot cut yourself into the AAU, and then he cut one of the highest PhD producing programs in the university and fired me and canned the innovative EdD program I led. Chasing AAU - The Bugeater share.google/FSoyju5pmLnq...share.googleChasing AAU - The BugeaterUNL and the AAU Today, we’re skipping our normal finals grading procrastin-baking for a deep dive into UNL and the AAU.

Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I read Caring University when it came out and centered my chair job talk around it. It hits differently after last spring. But I'm glad my new institution has made caring it's thing. 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Remember when we tweeted about not work and not politics? Here is that skeet 030
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I wrote a thing sarahzuckerman.substack.com/p/hello-is-t...sarahzuckerman.substack.comHello, is this thing on?Writing into the void since 1999 001
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Makes me think we're still really dealing with the same barriers, as well as the is school a place kids would choose to be every day issue. Which feels like it gets worse and worse all the time 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026It's weird that they keep cutting the cheaper to run programs that off set the more than expensive ones🤔 030
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Perhaps a good lesson for the AI bros 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Unexplainable just did a three part series on synthetic cells and a bunch of scientists were like just because we could engineer a cell in which the proteins face the other way, doesn't mean we should. Especially because those cells couldn't be killed and eventually would end all life on earth. 110
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I could have lived with never seeing myself as the top story on the 10 pm news, actually 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026My other favorite bit was the part in the response where they said we filed it for attention. I hate, and I mean hate being the center of attention. I was so relieved to elope during COVID so no one would watch me walking down the aisle. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The Chancellor would like the challenge the mootness of our claims and says the grievance shouldn't even have gotten a committee... After the response sent last week that was essentially, nahahnah, can't prove it. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I cannot listen to a podcast without a thousand ads about why I need AI or a product to force my employees to use AI, even if they don't want to (to help them build habits of using AI 🙄) 010
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It's certainly training them up to be docile corporate computer jockeys... Although don't they keep telling us AI is going to do that all in the future? None of those tech bros are sending their kids to schools like this 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This is what Jeff Gold doesn't understand, granting favors to the drunk in chief that is the governor, who ran on playing football for NU and also actively trying to destroy it 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026If you don't reread your paper before you make your slides, how are you supposed to remember what it says? Just me every time I go to present my research? 040
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Chancellor Ankerson reported enrollment is down mostly because graduate is down 10%. Maybe don't eliminate one of your largest grad programs that largely enrolled domestic students. Call me crazy, but that seems like a real own goal 060
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Proactively send them to the writing center? My bar for native English speaking students is can I figure out what you meant and how many glaring spelling errors and typos tell me you didn't proof read but it's always the lowest points 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026And if they're a doc student, they're eventually going to find their AI work rejected 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Like.they are unlikely to learn how to write efficiency or effectively in English 120
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026And their attitude is we simply cannot be bothered with you children and there is nothing to fix here. 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026We had a successful no confidence vote and dragged the rest of the leadership into the news at least to answer for what happened 110
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026The College of Arts and Sciences independently voted to submit their own grievance of harm done to the college 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I couldn't bring myself to read it but I don't think it bodes particularly well for the continuation of UNL as anything resembling a university 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I read only a couple of sentences of the administrator's response to the grievance submitted last spring by members of terminated depts. It basically said nahaha, can't prove it and you are just doing this for attention. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026But here me out, what if we just didn't make life as hard as possible for everyone just because everyone would get life to be less hard...still not over a teacher telling me kids just need to take accountability for their education in class. 050
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I pulled together some other stuff but none of it is interactive or visually appealing in a way that might get a bunch of exhausted educators to look at it after teaching, coaching, and taking care of their families all day 😩 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026That's all. I guess I'll go back to looking for other resources to replace the extremely well done Smithsonian materials my tax dollars paid for but my white supremacists federal government censured. 000
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I feel like I'm just screaming into a void at this point. 110
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026In 2025, my department, which refused to censure our website, and had the word equity on our dept t-shirts was eliminated with 250 students & top tier research faculty. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026In 2020 the Chancellor of UNL launched his anti-racism efforts. He had to go on an apology tour. Two years later, he and that initiative were gone. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026In 2018, the commissioner of Ed in NE launched a statewide equity agenda. I spent like 6 years on a statewide team talking about equity leadership only to be told by the same people in 2022 not to use the word equity in writing a report on our work. 100
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Thanks, I hate it here. My research group that's working on a study of culturally relevant leadership practices and leader prep, spent another hour going around about how much things have changed in the last decade. 110
Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I'm teaching leadership for diverse learners this term, or the equity course. This week, we're covering bias. The Smithsonian online exhibit that worked in August is now errors and images of military aircraft. 200
