This is an embarrassment for Yale. It’s a grime time and things are going to keep getting grimmer if universities jump at shadows from fear of Trumpism.
If you teach at Yale I sure hope ChatGPT doesn’t say you kidnapped the Lindbergh baby or something.

I once saw a talk about the fact that faculty of color are more likely to have appointments across multiple departments, which can also be predictive of tenure struggles, because 2x service, attending meetings, and showing your face + issues with letter writers. Does anyone know this work?
I have seen data on the success of "diversity" and cluster hires, but is anyone aware of larger-scale studies about these practices? Successes, pitfalls, etc.? Also, can anyone recommend papers on the factors that predict faculty success (e.g., career mentoring, an intellectual community)?

I’m sorry but the fact that Congress is about to throw immigrants under the bus at the very same time that countless immigrants in California are risking their lives to protect neighborhoods many of them could never aspire live in is breaking my brain in a whole new way.

I’ve been anxious getting updates from my family in LA. Some had to evacuate. My young nephew was scared but distracted himself with his toys. Thankfully they were spared. Back in ‘92 I was 5 and had to escape the fires. We lost everything. Heartbroken to see LA on fire again, this time from afar 💔

I was part of several media activist campaigns over decades to secure net neutrality, and can't begin to tell you how destructive this will be to journalism, public health, democracy (+art/popcult,etc)
