The practical demise of the NSF, including the SBE division, deserves a coordinated and forceful response from higher education leadership. Instead, what we've gotten is collective silence. History will not look kindly upon this group.

Khashoggi's assassination was in hindsight one of the highly salient norm-shattering moments of impunity that helped recalibrate contemporary expectations for outrageous crimes: if you're rich & powerful enough, in the words of the President of the United States, "they just let you do it"

The intent is clear: "The admin previously fired the N.S.F.’s independent oversight board. And it has canceled or delayed thousands of grants across both agencies as part of its quest to punish elite universities and eliminate spending President Trump and his aides view as 'woke' "

I'm sure that's true. However, the need for a largely new teaching paradigm is not something most faculty are prepared to or given the the time to take on. And that's not to mention precarious or teaching faculty who do not get paid at scale for even "traditional" teaching.

This is a nice piece that covers a number of ways to address student use of AI in writing. However, these strategies target in-person instruction and smaller classes. Combating AI use in large, asynchronous courses, where universities are pursuing more enrollment strategies remains a big challenge.

In virtually all other situations this would be fatal, but it is current GOP politics-- where the gotcha game must be strong, but not factual. He probably increased his odds at VP with this embarrassing audition.

Read "Careless People," and you'll understand they're above being shamed. Domination at the cost of social well-being is their goal at whatever cost and pretty much explains the motivations of the current ruling class.

When the Provost of a prestigious school gives the same excuses for using AI for writing as my intro course students, we've completely lost the plot.
thedartmouth.com
Op-eds, academic articles by Provost Santiago Schnell flagged as ‘AI-written’ by ‘near-zero error’ AI detector Pangram
Schnell said he used artificial intelligence for “making writing processes more efficient,” but that AI was not a “substitute” for his own “intellectual judgment or authorship.”

Teachers work second jobs because they are paid so little. Teachers use their own money or beg for donations to buy school supplies. Teachers work in school districts that provide little infrastructure or staff support. Yet, my man here thinks teaches have the energy for "woke" indoctrination.
