It’s not just that this hamstrings writing on campus. It also strikes down a crucial center of collaborative, peer-to-peer leaning at the university.
Rebecca Colesworthy“Closing the Writing Center and removing its leadership now sends a disturbing signal about how seriously Harvard actually takes [its] mission.” Closing a writing center or library or dept or program or university press—an attack on one is an attack on all. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Look at how terrible this socialism is: “The windfall of tips comes after a city law cracking down on deceptive tipping practices by app-based delivery companies took effect in January … Since taking office, Mayor Mamdani has directed DCWP to vigorously enforce the laws.”
NYC Delivery Workers Earned $104M Extra in Tips Under New City LawAccording to a new city report, enforcement of New York City’s tip transparency law has led to an average of about $2,287 in additional tips for each of the city’s 70,000 app-based delivery workers.documentedny.com

As @drcaromaldo.blacksky.app pointed out, tenure committees (and indeed ANY review and promotion committees anywhere) need also to account for the incredible burden that LLMS are becoming in the classroom. So much of our time is consumed fighting its pollution and degradation of learning.
James Andrew SmithTenure committee members break and bend the rules all the time… AI usage, which is most likely not discussed in the current set of rules, is most certainly happening now. It needs to be addressed and defended against.

I've said this before: Scholar friends, if you read an essay, chapter, or book that you like please DO tell the author! I can't tell you how much these notes mean to someone who feels like they are alone and simply writing into the void.

NEW: A federal book banning bill has been introduced in the Senate. It's time to make our voices heard. Tell your Senators to REJECT pro-censorship legislation like S. 4925 that would limit the freedom to read! We need every advocate to speak out against censorship: action.ala.org/campaign/S4925
