Truly cruel and reprehensible stuff from the NHS. For all their talk about "harm" this shows that NHS has no actual interest in the well-being of these kids. I don't even know what else to say.
I hope that people are aware that one of the primary political objectives of this ascending right-wing effort to remake higher education through things like the Vanderbilt Report, the Chicago Principles, and the AEI Future of the American University project is to crush the academic labor movement.
The Chronicle's dominant position in the higher ed media ecosystem is one of the biggest problems that we face. Endless right-wing grift, just like the New York Times.
Colleges will under-hire, expend zero time or resources to expand a major, and sink money into expensive boondoggle programs that send students into other pathways and then turn around and say the market has spoken so they’re shutting down a major.
What @nearleft.bsky.social says:
Historical research does not need to be done faster or in greater volume for any social or intellectual purpose whatever; if anything, it needs to be done more slowly and deliberately than at present, by people allowed the training, time, space, and resources to do it that way.
The drive for more and more publications is another example of the management class fucking up higher ed.
Measurable outcomes: you MUST publish a certain number of articles every year. Just keep churning them out.
It's rationalization: productivity is making more, and productivity is good.
The best part of the canvas outage is the part where our central administration has not communicated even a single word to faculty or students about it, just absolute crickets 🙃
This is what makes it so egregious that CMU has not communicated to our students or faculty about this AT ALL. I spoke with a student today who knew nothing about it. Students deserve to be informed about what is happening with their data.
