There is a willful ignorance among many administrators to even listen to all our arguments. I’ve seen this first hand at UMass. All the evidence you cite about how humanities subsidizes STEM, how humanities majors actually get jobs, how AI makes humanities degrees MORE relevant- they just don’t care

How many places are like mine, where the majority of admin come from STEM/health sciences and rarely make the effort to understand the humanities? I've been in mtgs where admin ask me to "explain humanities research" to them in a quick sound bite. How can I when they're not even listening to me?
