One of the worst things about do-called AI is that it pits my students against me. Over decades of teaching, I have built relationships of trust with my students, where I don't bs them about the world they live in, and they don't bs me about the work they do for me about it. "AI" interrupts this.

Arsenal wanted to hand Thomas Partey a new contract and it only didn't happen b/c of his salary demands.
Tremendously poor decision-making from the club from start to finish.
You will never convince me that there weren't alternative paths that didn't involve continuing to play and feature him.

I want to hear what this fucking club has to say for itself. Spoiler alert, there's no excuse and there's never been any excuse. They dropped Auba like a hot potato for not showing up and being a problem. They protected Thomas.

The crime is the fault of the perpetrator, and continuing to play him probably would have been the recommendation of counsel. The club had plausible deniability on that. But trying to extend his contract goes outside the air cover.
The top of the house has a lot to answer for today.

Still hard to swallow that the club made a serious effort to extend his contract. Two weeks ago it hit a hard left turn - the reporting was that it was over money but it’s not hard to wonder if the club got wind this was coming.
To state the obvious, the whole affair makes Arsenal look TERRIBLE.

This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

Do profs respond to student evaluations?
On average? Nope.
Those who have a more positive view of their own teaching do.
But all of these responses are driven by the female teachers.
