15 years of faculty employment (Canada & China). Here to explore alternatives to the university and college model of education and employment.

I can find no academics who even try to answer these questions, never mind ask them. In 30 years, not a single academic has pointed to literature I might have missed that poses and answers these questions that are essential for proper stewardship of HE. Get your heads out of your assumptions and do your job.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@AMPL_AMPD Just testing to see if you are still blocking me for trying to get you to do your job and for trying to improve higher education.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

Do you know how many lives your ignorant assumption of the institutional model has destroyed, over the centuries that universities and colleges have been the sole facilitators of higher education? Bet that number would dwarf the cause you rattle on about in this moment in history. Get your head out of your ass and try harder.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ACEducation @HowardU HE does build, but don't ignorantly confuse HE with higher education institutions. HEIs are tools for provision of the social good, not identical to it. And these tools are broken and inferior. Try harder.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ucu "fully funded" For this year? Is that unlimited funding? Is it funding immune to the turmoil of global economics? All you do is make the system more vulnerable the more money you demand. Duh!

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

"privileged" A relative term that those who are privileged often mistakenly apply. I have no need for a university to provide the higher education I am more than qualified to provide to anyone who wants it, but it is against the law for me to do so outside the legal apparatus of a university employer-enroller. The term is relative and the system you all assume is by design a privileged elitism. Try harder.

@notUConnAAUP @AAUP My thoughts exactly.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@goACTA @NASorg @MindingCampus Here is how I think we can properly support liberal arts education in ways that the #AAUP and the #ACTA cannot: https://t.co/1oJV28AY0q & https://t.co/P8zdA8XTL4

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ThirdWayEDU @JessicaEBlake The value of anything is relative to its costs. Here is a model for higher education that cuts costs by at least half, thereby improving the value of a degree. Try some research: i) https://t.co/pUMY52CFif and ii) https://t.co/Dnr3Vkeykq.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@CFA_United If you really care about the social good and the people who depend upon it, then try this alternative model - https://t.co/P8zdA8XTL4 - everything else is just ignorant assumption of an inherited model. And try asking some questions you can't answer: https://t.co/tYnud8ilpw

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ucu @SkyNews So, the tertiary system you assume with ignorance is devastated by a drop in international student tuition revenue and you all think the problem is the latest political upheaval (or the next economic problem) and not the entire system itself. You people are morons.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

Here is an analysis of the @AAUP report on AI and the academic profession that you will not get anywhere else: https://t.co/fpYp7yOpE3. The #AAUP cannot lead the future academe. For 110 years, this organization has failed to properly steward HE: https://t.co/mhmFTBTQdd.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ucu @DrJoGrady What's doomed to fail is desperate reliance on international fees for solvency. Turn your lens on the HEIs of the UK that undermine integrity, quality and equity of access by selling degrees abroad like handbags or open campuses in countries like China. You're lost. Try harder.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ThePhDPlace Because funding, generation and dissemination of research depends on the model and I offer an alternative model to the single institutional one we've inherited without challenge. There is no other research like this: i) https://t.co/Dnr3Vkeykq and ii) https://t.co/tYnud8ilpw

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

"Buildings don't teach and campuses don't do research. We do." I agree, which is why I created a higher education model that eliminates the institutional employer, as it dramatically reduces the public cost: https://t.co/ehP8K8pMfa Academics and students do not need universities and colleges, and keeping them as the exclusive means of servicing and stewarding HE is what does the harm.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@UoNUCU The problem is that nothing that you want is a new in higher education and that's because you want universities and colleges, or rather, you ignorantly assume them as the sole means of serving and stewarding the social good. Just employees on lines with sings. Pathetic.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@AFTunion How about get out of the way?

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@AFTunion @MisterMinor The AFT.

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

@ucu @DrJoGrady @TheBMA Do you think this means the alternative profession-based model I offer - https://t.co/PoKUTrGFdn - for HE is no different from this? That therefore PSA is no better than the monopolistic inheritance you all assume? Try harder: https://t.co/tYnud8ilpw

[Shawn Warren, PhD @ProSocAcademics]

The @AAUP has released a report on AI and the academic profession: https://t.co/SIMSpA1cPs The findings and recommendations are utterly predictable rubbish to which I respond using my alternative PSA model for HE: https://t.co/lK1PVYxzli
