I have often wondered what my reaction would be to the prospect of being replaced in my job by AI. The answer is, I’m positively cackling w/ laughter! Even if this AI were coded by Deans, it would fail. No one really gets what we do. Shout out to my human Dean colleagues. I see you.

Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump’s Anti-DEI Orders
The orders declared DEI illegal and aimed to put an end to “equity-related grants or contracts.” But the judge’s injunction called them “unconstitutionally vague on their face.”
