This is quite cool. My university is the first organisation in the world to force Microsoft to allow us to turn off copilot summaries in Word 365, after a backlash against it from staff (including, very vocally, me). That cannot have been easy for our heroic IT people so hats very much off to them!

The NY Times has repeatedly used the phrase “to heel” in reference to Trump’s crackdown on universities, implicitly clarifying that Trump goal is to establish dominance. And what exactly constitutes this “woke” ideology in higher education?
During the meeting, Mr. Trump repeatedly complained about his administration’s failure to bring Harvard University in particular to heel. The administration has been unable to hammer out a deal with the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university, a central plank of his broader push against “woke” ideology in higher education.

You hear about faculty who are demoralized, exhausted, and ready to quit. All true! But what you don't hear is that for many of us, the time we spend with students is the best part of our day and it's what keeps us going. I for one am uplifted by my students.

I largely agree with plenty of the criticisms of how detached and overly dispute-driven online radicalism can sometimes get. But too often, my next question is "well, which online left?" Like the one that turned Charlie Kirk into a laughingstock? The one that has kept a lot of us housed and fed?
