Three prominent professors have departed their tenured posts at #Yale, one of America's most prestigious #IvyLeague schools, for new #Edu jobs in #Canada.

They left #America clues, and basically cited the frightening #reprisals, threats to free speech, bullying and anti-intellectual fervor vowed against the #HigherEd world that has already seen students plucked off streets by secret police and institutions publicly denounced and #defunded by #FarRight thought policing.

Looks like you've had a bit too much to think!

There was a time when Twitter had industry and college chats.
This were educational and networking hubs. Students and professionals would join in these tweetchats to learn and connect. I hope we see something like tweetchats on the #Fediverse someday

Overheard at a conference about #AI in #Medicine:

Speaker: "I hear neurologists prefer we say that generative AI systems 'confabulate' and not that they 'hallucinate'."

Neurologist [shouting from the back of the room]: "CORRECT!"

Ich bin wirklich dafür die #Ungarn aus der #EU zu werfen oder eine #EDU European Defense Union zu gründen. Der ECU und spätere Euro gilt ja auch nicht in der gesamten EU. Vielleicht sollte man eh eine Reform machen eines europäischen Kernstaates mit eigener Regierung und eigenem

Can #AI improve team-based #argumentation beyond the benefits of group work and #argumentMapping?

In a 6-week quasi-experiment with 67 Indonesian students, the AI-assisted group developed more well-rounded arguments and showed more "group efficacy".

The methods, including a chatGPT group, the Kialo collaborative argument mapping system (pages 107 and 108).

The better results in the AI-assisted group (pages 112 and 113)

I welcome quantification of opportunities to streamline #higherEd!

In addition to that @USNews quantification of bloat from mission creep (from #edu and #research to entertainment, sports, etc.), there is bloat from disproportionately recent increases in #regulation on #science:

This regularly-updated plot from the #CouncilOnGovernmentalRelations makes it clear:

> more than 60% of the regulatory burden over the past 30ish years were been added in the final 10 years of that period.

https://www.cogr.edu/changes-federal-research-requirements-1991

Of course, the "bullsh..." jobs referred to in the top-level post go beyond mission creep and regulatory burden. Many unnecessary internal jobs and external contracts (consulting, branding, surveying, "learning management...", etc.) cost embarrassing amounts of money. And the people in these jobs with authority to purchase such services are incentivized to hide the embarrassing costs in opaque finance reports, severely hindering quantitative estimates of "bullsh...".
