My book, Taming the Careerists, will be published by Cambridge University Press this September! There is growing debate over whether federal employees should be easier to dismiss in order to make them more responsive to presidential directives. What would be the consequences of such a change?

...ICC members need to operate on the assumption that the US is fundamentally opposed to ideas of international justice and accountability. And that opposition is robust, across time and (hate to say it) often across parties. Maybe 2028 goes great and everything is fine. But that's a fools bet

Unexpected breakthroughs like this one are the reason that the Federal Government funded basic research. This funding contributed to America’s post-war economic growth and created the world’s greatest system of higher education. Now, racist fools are dismantling the system to own the libs.

This is undisputedly true, & the fact that so many politicians in states like WI spend so much time demonizing, defunding, & otherwise kneecapping the single most outstanding & world-class institution in their state remains mind-boggling to me, even after 20 years as faculty at one of these places.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
