Veränderung der Personalstrukturen an deutschen Hochschulen ist notwendig - so der Wissenschaftsrat im Juli 2025. Wie aber ist sie möglich?
Über Wege dazu vor Ort diskutieren wir am 19.11. in Tübingen mit Tobias Rosefeldt (HU Berlin), Rektorin Karla Pollmann und Sebastian Kubon von #ichbinhanna.

arXiv, a preprint publication for academic research that has become particularly important for AI research, has announced it will no longer accept computer science articles and papers that haven’t been vetted by an academic journal or a conference. Why?

A tide of AI slop.
arXiv Changes Rules After Getting Spammed With AI-Generated 'Research' Papers
Cornell University’s academic paper repository will no longer accept Computer Science papers still under review.

Harvard makes it impossible to figure out where an egregious tenure denial ends and a slow death of a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality program begins, and sowing confusion might be the point

Liebe Follower, ich bin auf der Suche nach antiquarischen Büchern des (eher entlegenen) Autors Maximilian Josef von Oer aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Die einschlägigen Seiten im Netz habe ich schon abgesucht. Wer weiß etwas? Bitte gern teilen.

A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.
I've now been allowed and asked to share more details about what's going down at the University of Oregon, which involves imminent announcement of firings, among others, of tenure-track and tenured faculty. Given the units impacted (see below), please share this with your professional networks in related disciplines and start getting ready to put pressure (or begin putting pressure already) on the University of Oregon upper admin to abandon this alleged plan before they finalize it. It appears that, with no prior consultations, the departments of Religion and Classics (two separate units), and the programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, German & Scandinavian, Judaic Studies, Arabic Studies, and Holocaust Studies (the latter five all parts of a previously-consolidated mega unit called the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages) are facing imminent announcement of elimination (expected the week of Sept 7), with layoffs of pre-tenure, tenured, and career faculty in these units. The reason given is "financial exigency" -- upper administrations of several universities across the country (and in blue states like Oregon also) appear to be giddy to use the context of Trump attacks on higher ed to dismantle the humanities. Faculty at OU won a faculty union not long ago; this may be, in part, a retaliation for that, I've been told. The union is working with AAUP, etc.; my understanding is that the maximum spotlight is needed at this point.
