With my former service academy asst prof hat on, the more interesting question here isn’t academic tenure. It’s force generation. The service academies aren’t merely universities. They’re statutory officer-accession pipelines that produce commissioned officers with multi-year service obligations.

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?

Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.

You’re right, that does sound grim.

Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.

I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

Even if you disagree that our officer corps should be educated in the humanities or liberal arts in general, and academies should be focused on things like engineering, this will also drive away high-quality civilian academics in your favored fields.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Reducing the asymmetry of info increases bargaining power
Facebook post from Wall Street Journal:

College football kickers have long accepted their place as afterthoughts on their own rosters. They practice alone. They play a minuscule number of snaps. And for years, many weren't even on scholarships.

But in the game's era of player pay, these football outsiders are now banding together to cash in. The community of kickers is determined not to miss on college football's new gold rush.

In group chats, on social media and at the specialized camps where they hone their skills, kickers are disseminating vital information on how much they get paid. They're then using that knowledge to leverage some of the biggest raises in the sport.

For kickers, being in cahoots is yielding dramatic results. The average starting specialist-a positional grouping comprising mostly kickers and punters-in a Power Four conference is making $225,000 this season.

"When they all get together," said the father of a recent Power Four conference kicker, "it's basically a sewing circle where they all talk to each other: 'Hey, I got this,' 'I'm getting this."

"They basically self-created their own market," he added.

It’s important to note that the same administration is also targeting the use of socioeconomic status as “too close of a proxy for race,” so since poor and/or first generation college students are disproportionately Black and Brown they’d like to end any programming on those bases as well.
