Right? I can’t even get students to read the syllabus! No way I could influence their political beliefs

Fascinating. Important. The stunning thing I’ve seen as an editor, reviewer, & educator, is the use of generative AI to accelerate low quality work. Rather than use these tools to do more ambitious scholarship, there is a race to the bottom. This post, the first in its series, documents exactly that

These are great. I have students play a few games and then interview each other about the experience and write up the interview. Students love it

This doesn’t help them learn! I give students my notes and tell them to rewrite them in their own words. Thinking about it in their own words and connecting it to existing knowledge is how they learn

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

In short, were the university to choose to defend itself, some simple arithmetic suggests that — at least financially — it could. Easily. It’s not too bold to predict that every university president will face a similar choice in the coming months.
