In winter, I spoke at a faculty event about AI. I was alarmed by the range of faculty awareness. Some believe our students are so "good" they'd never cheat. Yes, cheating's wrong. But systems that explicitly or implicitly incentivize cheating--AI does both--will produce cheating. 11/
As I understood our leave, we have a very peculiar leave system. A new child creates two course releases. We teach 3-2, so that the way it works out is that you can take a semester of paid leave when you have a new child.
Managed to stay off the computer and out of the world to be able to watch the England - Croatia game on demand today with my kids. It worked so well, the game was great, and England won. Sometimes the stars align.
If, however, your spouse is also a faculty member, the system remains the same. The new child creates two course releases, but parents now want/need four. So, either each parent takes one course release (and teaches only one course) or one parent takes them both and the other takes zero.
