There will be many casualties from UChicago ending ('pausing') PhD admissions in Humantities, but one which I am keenly aware of: this is close to a death sentence for teaching cuneiform in the United States (esp. Sumerian, Hittite, Elamite, Eblaite, Luwian) and it will affect the whole world.

the crisis in which the University of Chicago is now engulfed -- one entirely of its own making, and which has led to the (hopefully temporary) suspension of admissions into numerous PhD programs in the humanities -- represents I think a seismic event in the history of American higher education

Like I said yesterday, a foundational issue here is that tenured faculty have devalued their own labor in an effort to disclaim responsibility for it. At the same time, the massive glut of highly-trained, under-employed PhDs has given admins bottomless well of cheap hires to do the “cheap” labor /4

In the hills of southeastern Turkey lies a site so ancient, it's turning our understanding of civilization on its head and leading to conspiracy theories.
