Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

OK. Folks are asking for my research seminar AI statement in my syllabus. Here it is. I just wrote it. Might still tweak it.

I want to emphasize this. I see our time together in this seminar as a kind of pact. I do my best to give you a love of the topic under debate and to make you better writers; you, in turn, give me your best in class and in writing without Al assistance. Our mutual meeting place --student to teacher -- matters to me tremendously; I teach because I want to give you something of value. Use of AI erodes our pact, devaluing my teaching and your efforts.
