Yeah, this husk of the IMLS that remains can get lost with this re-alignment with bigotry.
It'll be years if not a full decade of recovery. So many people have been screwed this past year, and now we should take this "opportunity" to do further harm?
Nah. How's about no.

This is so incredibly short sighted and intentionally ignorant, too. Laying off so many staff - and the entire evaluation department (!!!) - in response to fascist-led federal cuts will hurt the museum and surrounding communities for years. Evaluation staff at SMM did all kinds of good and thoughtful work all around the state and were committed to equitable evaluation principles.

CW: Saltiness about "AI" and evaluation
Edit: Still accurate
This is confirmed damn near every time I open up AEA, VSA, or MERL Tech articles and posts these days.
And yes, it is a choice! So tiring and disappointing, even tho I'm just scrolling past, blocking, or deleting nonsense at this point. It's all just so loud and takes up so much space.
(I made this a few weeks ago, but finally got annoyed enough to share it.)

It really is stunning how some evaluators are sprinting to use and promote salamis "AI." Then again, when I reflect on the field and the people involved, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
When I called some of his specific claims into question as well as foundational issues, the author of a promo piece just suggested another.
Folks in evaluation are wasting a tremendous amount of time and effort on something that introduces more distance and confusion.
