Rejecting the use of GenAI for qualitative research on the grounds of ethical concerns/social and environmental justice (not just methodological concerns) is valid and important.

That is why I like this letter written by qualitative researchers from 32 countries:

Less than two years ago, Texas Tech University suspended me for speaking out against genocide. Today I found out I was denied tenure.

Academia isn't a calling—it's a job. Stop glorifying burnout. Clock in, do great work, clock out. Your worth isn't measured in unpaid overtime

The academic job market is doing something very good this year:
A lot of searches are *NO* longer asking for reference letters until applicants make the short list.
This makes is easier to apply for jobs, reduces the letter writing load for faculty, and makes the review process easier for committee members.
This reduces the barrier to applying to jobs for applicants and provides some useful feedback if they make the longlist (which is normally unknown).
Here is a sample job ad from UC Berkeley. If every search copied this strategy, the process would become much less onerous for everyone involved.

It's a collective action problem we could easily solve.

Therapy isn’t free-form speech—it’s licensed, evidence-based health care. What the Court decides in Chiles v. Salazar could redefine that distinction.
