Jeremy<p>This is so incredibly short sighted and intentionally ignorant, too. Laying off so many staff - and the entire evaluation department (!!!) - in response to fascist-led federal cuts will hurt the museum and surrounding communities for years. Evaluation staff at SMM did all kinds of good and thoughtful work all around the state and were committed to equitable evaluation principles.</p><p><a href="https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/07/09/science-museum-of-minnesota-lays-off-43-employees" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mprnews.org/story/2025/07/09/s</span><span class="invisible">cience-museum-of-minnesota-lays-off-43-employees</span></a></p><p><a href="https://glammr.us/tags/museums" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>museums</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/glam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>glam</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/EquitableEvaluation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EquitableEvaluation</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/FundingCuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FundingCuts</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/UnforcedError" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnforcedError</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RealEvalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RealEvalTalk</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/imls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>imls</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/nsf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nsf</span></a></p>
