The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

What a great article not only on faculty workloads, but how little our salaries actually factor in to most university budgets. A few highlights. First, our salaries are falling:
Third, faculty salaries are falling even if we statistically control for faculty rank and institution. By our analysis of National Center for Education Statistics data, tenured and tenure-track salaries are down 10 percent in real terms since 2016 and are lower today than they were in 2002; nontenured faculty salaries are down 4 percent since 2016 and are at 2002 levels today.

To put this plainly: Suppose sharply increased teaching loads enabled institutions to cut one out of every seven full-time faculty. (That’s roughly what we saw last year in severe cuts announced at West Virginia, Western Illinois, and St. Cloud State Universities.) The associated savings in salary and benefits even through such drastic action would amount to less than 2.5 percent of total institutional expenditures for the typical university.

The upshot? If you think higher education has a cost problem, squeezing more teaching out of faculty is not the first place you should look.

Multiple Testing Correction "Whether correction is warranted, and whether an omnibus test should be performed at all, depends not on the number of tests but on the inferential goal of the analysis." Open Access: doi.org/10.3389/fphy... #stats
Adjustment for multiple statistical tests has become a default marker of rigor in clinical and health research. We argue that its routine application is often conceptually inappropriate and can obscure meaningful results. The need for multiplicity correction depends not simply on how many tests are performed, but on the inferential question being asked. When the aim is to determine whether any detectable effect exists, an omnibus test is the appropriate inferential tool, and subsequent post hoc comparisons serve a descriptive role. When a small number of directed hypotheses are specified a priori, routine blanket correction across all conceivable contrasts is not required, provided the hypothesis set is fixed independently of the data. By contrast, when the aim is to identify where an effect is visible across a broader set of candidate contrasts, the problem is one of multiple inference and calls for explicit error control, such as false discovery rate control or, where stricter control is required, familywise error control. A related but distinct issue arises when multiple variables reflect different aspects of the same underlying biological process. Here, simple count-based adjustment penalizes measurement richness without addressing a coherent inferential problem and should be replaced by consideration of the latent structure of the outcome space. We propose a context-dependent framework, operationalized through a small set of guiding questions, that links inferential aims to appropriate statistical procedures across three modes: global detection, directed hypothesis testing, and exploratory localization. This framework supports more transparent and defensible statistical practice.
