🚨 We're excited to launch TN Direct Admissions, the nation's first program to simplify college admissions + financial aid! Our pilot will provide students upfront college admissions offers alongside personalized commitments of financial aid—no applications, no fees, no BS.
Submitted a paper 41 days ago to an AERA journal—still "awaiting editor assignment." Please prioritize pre-tenure folks (and grad students)! 🫠

"The UW system just started automatically accepting students. How's that going?" 🙅♂️ Not well because the program requires students *and* their high schools to opt-in (even by May 1 of their *junior* year)! Make everyone eligible—and address costs of attendance while you're at it!
About half of the 50,000 students enrolled at the first round of participating schools were found to be eligible.

Students come to me all the time with these kinds of stories. Too many in our field either perpetrate these acts themselves or tolerate them. It should be a great shame for the academy.
I’ve been bullied and exploited by a senior scholar since I was an early PhD student and am now helping guide more junior folks experiencing the same across our field. In 2028, I’ll be tenured or not—and, either way, it’s going to be a rough year for them. This has to stop.
