  1. Duh, students need a small class with a dedicated, well-trained, supportive, teacher.

    'Policy analysts looked at 20 years’ worth of data collected for the annual Student Academic Experience Survey, currently run by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Advance HE, to establish key trends in a tumultuous period for higher education. The key findings were said to be “surprisingly simple”: “a good student academic experience ultimately comes down to quality teaching, access to in person interaction with teachers and a strong sense of belonging”.'

    This year’s senior class is the first to have spent nearly its entire college career in the age of generative AI, a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, like text and images. As the technology improves, it’s harder to distinguish from human work, and it’s shaking academia to its core. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports for our series, Rethinking College.

  8. It provides the telephone numbers of the #universities that employ them for students & parents to register their complaints. While the site claims the organization supports #FreeSpeech, many #professors have recounted enduring campaigns of #harassment after being put on the list. (Nikole Hannah-Jones was placed on it in 2021 because of her work on the #1619Project, after it was announced that she would be a professor at Howard University.)

  9. The #ProfessorWatchlist website invited college students not to engage in robust discussions with others with different ideologies, but to #report #professors who “advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.”

    The site includes photos of professors, along with often highly misleading summaries of the #ThoughtCrimes that landed them on the list.

  10. #MarcoRubio did not refer to any specific allegation of wrongdoing & instead said the inquiry was necessary “to assist the department in meeting its policy objectives.”

  11. #Volunteers flock to #ImmigrationCourts to support #migrants arrested in the hallways

    SEATTLE (AP) — "After a Seattle immigration judge dismissed the deportation case against a Colombian man — exposing him to expedited removal — three people sat with him in the back of the courtroom, taking his car keys for #SafeKeeping, helping him memorize phone numbers and gathering the names of family members who needed to be notified.

    "When Judge Brett Parchert asked why they were doing that in court, the volunteers said Immigration and Custom Enforcement officers were outside the door, waiting to take the man into custody, so this was their only chance to help him get his things in order. '#ICE is in the waiting room?' the judge asked.

    "As the #MassDeportation campaign of President Donald #Trump focuses on cities and states led by Democrats and unleashes fear among asylum-seekers and immigrants, their legal defenders sued this week, seeking class-action protections against the arrests outside immigration court hearings. Meanwhile, these volunteers are taking action.

    "A diverse group — #FaithLeaders, #CollegeStudents, #grandmothers, #retired #lawyers and #professors — has been showing up at immigration courts across the nation to escort immigrants at risk of being detained for deportation by masked ICE officials. They’re giving families moral and logistical support, and bearing witness as the people are taken away.

    "The #NorthwestImmigrantRightsProject was inundated by so many community members wanting to help that they made a volunteer training video, created '#KnowYourRights' sheets in several languages and started a Google sheet where people sign up for shifts, said Stephanie Gai, a staff attorney with the Seattle-based legal services non-profit.

    " 'We could not do it without them,' Gai said. 'Some volunteers request time off work so they can come in and help.'

    "Robby Rohr, a retired non-profit director said she volunteers regularly.

    " 'Being here makes people feel they are remembered and recognized,' she said 'It’s such a bureaucratic and confusing process. We try to help them through it.' "

The members are concerned that political appointees at the #State Dept, which manages the program, are acting illegally by canceling the awarding of #Fulbright #scholarships to almost 200 American #professors & #researchers who are prepared to go to #universities & other #research institutions overseas starting this summer, …including Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

  13. "The target of the administration’s campaign is a stratum of society that’s sometimes called the #ProfessionalManagerialClass, or the #PMC, although there’s not one universal moniker that #MAGA applies to the group it is now crushing. That group includes society’s knowledge workers, its cognitive elite, the winners of the tournament that is the American meritocracy. It covers not only #lawyers, university administrators, and #professors, but also #consultants, investment #bankers, #scientists, #journalists, and other white-collar workers who have prospered in the information age.

    Back in the 1990s, as the group began to emerge in its current form, the liberal economics commentator Robert Reich hailed its members as “symbolic analysts”—people who identify and solve problems by thinking through ideas rather than via physical labor. A decade later, the urbanist Richard Florida put forth an even more triumphalist term: the “#creativeclass.” That is, its members had the academic training to master the complexities of a globalized economy, the intellectual skills to conquer the digital world."

    🌍 Calling all #scientists #professors #PIs #teamleaders #PhDs #phD passionate about shaping the future of research!

    We will use a new platform #bonfire to lead this change!
    Let's innovate 🌱🔍🤝 #ResearchForAll #openscience #opensource

  16. My 4th article for the NY #CitizenScience column comes out Thursday. It may interest #professors, #parents, & #admin to know that #ZeroGPT said 2.29% of my article was AI-generated (wrong: it was all me, a test).

    Then I asked #ChatGPT to respond:

  17. There is a theory about the presence of graphene oxide in the covid vials. This means your arm is magnetic.

    #biostatistician Ricardo #Delgado, Dr. José Luis #Sevillano and the team of #researchers and #professors with whom they have been conducting their #research have confirmed the presence of #graphene in vax vials.

    Seen through the optical microscope and electron microscope - threy found that this is not a vaccine, this is a dose of graphene to a person."
