@zenahitz Most of the growth seems to be in student support services, partly mandated, partly to help less prepared students through. Spending on instructors is flat or down at many institution types while dining and facilities services increasingly contracted out https://t.co/uubw1UmRFa

Base tenure and promotion evaluations of candidates’ research exclusively on what the candidates select as their best work. Time for Slow Philosophy: Pick Your Five Best Articles https://t.co/ALQieBF93F

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

A major management journal’s AI Task Force finds that over 40% of recent submissions were significantly or entirely generated by AI. It’s time to switch to slow academia: judge candidates on their best work, not how much they produce.

@emollick Time for slow academia: judge candidates on a suitably sized sample of their best work, not on quantity https://t.co/JPPZ2TXUuo

@zenahitz None of Marty's men are making it home alive.

@zenahitz Anyone who lives in the Mountain West and is interested in classical philosophy is welcome to join the Front Range Ancient Philosophy group I organize! We meet every spring and have non-academic members as well as faculty

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

@ArgonGruber @zenahitz The Society of Christian Philosophers has a $10 membership fee and special conference fee rates for K-12 educators and anyone without a permanent academic position. This applies to independent scholars with or without a PhD!

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

@jhendersonYT Yes, it's definitely going to be the new standard!

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

@No5mallf3at @jhendersonYT The translations are much better! Most of the translations in the Bollingen are both dated and subpar. The new Hackett is consistently strong

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

I just sent my application in! The Catherine Project has an impressive array of ancient language reading groups!

@AAUP As stated in the 2024 policy on DEI statements (cf. the AAUP's reversal on boycotts from 2006 to 2024) https://t.co/3IEBqPCmUn

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

When no one in leadership sees an issue w/ equating conservatives and fascists, it’s not surprising @AUUP ends up only defending academic freedom for left-wing professors and insisting that individual faculty can be punished by the majority without violating academic freedom.

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

@AAUP there's no "violation of academic freedom per se when an appropriate larger group, such as a faculty senate or a department, collectively adopts an educational policy or goal and evaluates individual faculty members’ performance by reference to them even though they dissent."

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

Many people say Ivy Leaguers don't care about actual education, but @Yale students (like so many others!) want to rigorously discuss the Western tradition of historical and political thought, literature, and philosophy! https://t.co/OPDsOOc5GW

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

Jukka argues that "political diversity fosters research integrity by reducing confirmation bias, encouraging adversarial scrutiny, and protecting dissent." Scholars are tempted to be less rigorous with research that supports their social justice goals. https://t.co/SlMBSuw4ko

[Caleb Cohoe @cmcohoe]

Instead of sweeping generalizations and hypotheticals, this is what worthwhile discussion of viewpoint diversity looks like: researchers from within a discipline sharing their experience and making the scholarly case for problems with ideological and political uniformity.

[Jukka Savolainen @JukkaSavo]

My contribution to the debate:

"Viewpoint diversity is not a political concession. It is a scientific necessity. Academic disciplines ignore this fact at their peril."

Excited to see @BlueJays bringing baseball home for the World Series! I played on a diamond in Beachville (they'd gotten rid of the 5th base by then 😂) as a 7-year old little leaguer.

[Small Town Canada @smalltowncad]

Did you know that the real birthplace of baseball is Beachville, Ontario? That's right, the first recorded game in North America was played here on June 4, 1838, one year before Cooperstown. ⚾
