VT Religion and Culture is truly such a gem of a department and is absolutely stacked with amazing and kind scholars. I’ve benefitted immensely from the generosity of my colleagues and know how much we all have given to our teaching and service. The shortsightedness of this decision absolutely blows
just got word that my department's being shut down. two things:
1. no, i'm not okay. i've no words for how hard i've worked for this department and this institution. i feel betrayed, frankly, though i know it's not personal.
2. we rocked, y'all. i've no words for how hard we rocked, either.

Truly feckless behavior on the part of my Dean!
Anyway, happy Monday! The Dean is shutting down my department - Religion & Culture, the only 1 of is kind in the country & home to the innovative Major in Humanities for Public Service. There is no immediate budgetary or political pressure for this decision

I don't think we can fight AI creep by weaponizing grades. Nobody learns anything if we decide our job is to be plagiarism mall cops. If we don't win this argument at the level of process, convincing students they CAN'T learn what we have to teach them if they outsource to AI, we won't win at all.
