Google's AI Overviews face legal action as Chegg argues they unfairly retain traffic, replacing step-by-step learning with low-quality AI answers.

New headlines: “Trump Threatens to Deport International Students & Scholars Who Protested the War in Gaza” & “Trump Admin Walked Back a Funding Freeze. Higher Ed Remains Unsettled.” Do we not get that the pt is fear, uncertainty, helplessness & resigned withdrawal? Don’t take the bait.

"‘Institutional Destruction': A Federal-Funding Pause Sent Shockwaves Through Higher Ed". Seriously? If you had been paying attention to the campaign and Project 2025, which higher education leaders should have been, you should NOT be shocked about this move. www.chronicle.com/article/a-fe...

‘Institutional Destruction': A Federal-Funding Pause Sent Shockwaves Through Higher Ed
Late Tuesday, a court injunction blocked the Trump administration’s move until next week. The freeze led to a day of chaos for colleges, which receive billions of federal dollars annually.

I feel for all professors who discover cheating in their classes and are disappointed in their students. Maybe even angry. I get it. But wow. This is not how I would recommend professors respond to suspected cheating! twistedsifter.com/2024/12/his-...

2nd follow-up: prof explains her decision frees up class time for active learning. A Princeton prof argues it furthers the "commercialization of education." The next legal question: since the AI "text" was created from her lectures, which were on the texts she used to assign, who owns the copyright?

follow-up: replacing tenure faculty with adjuncts was a critical strategy in HE industrialization. As @biblioracle.bsky.social says in a new piece: the adoption of AI by tenured faculty amplifies this pattern of adjunctification, but this time, their actions will likely put themselves out of work.

Knowing that we have long ago solved the question of "why students cheat", I get so dispirited when HE "news" outlets take money from for-profits to exclaim they've solved the mystery for us. Thanks private company, but I don't need you to "crack the code" on why students cheat. #todaysIHEnews

we’ve been on this path for a while, so this is the impact of AI that I’ve been worried about. Our industrialized model of HE will not evolve in the face of AI. Instead, it will use AI to further entrench industrialization.

The "publish or perish" ecosystem in HE has struck again: researchers suspected of faking reviews to get published. Corruption can run deep in all organizations, but the education & research sides of HE need to take a close, deep look at the systemic structures that encourage unethical conduct.

Thank you. I needed to hear this. Worrying so much about the next 4+ years isn’t fruitful and can be quite harmful. Focusing on what I bring to life is both positively proactive and energizing!

Revealing piece in the CheatSheet today about corruption within the teacher certification process. A #contractcheating provider and proctor were in on it & made big money as a result. Why did it happen? So many possible explanations:

The solutions in this piece are just a tweak to 20th C higher ed. Instead, HE institutions can truly meet 21st C needs by moving away from a disciplinary-based model to a competency-based model of education. Active, engaged learning with a focus on skills is what humans need in an artificial world.

What does higher ed need to know about skills-based hiring?
Employers say they’re more interested in a student’s skills than their degree program, but what does that mean and how can institutions promote career readiness outside of academics?
