Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, College of Arts & Letters, Michigan State University. Director, Knowledge Commons. Author, LEADING GENEROUSLY. All opinions my own and not those of my employer, especially the sweary ones.
(It occurs to me to mention: we've gotten hammered by AI scraper bots for the last couple of days. If you run into any slowness or other weird behavior, be patient; we're playing whack-a-mole as fast as we can.)

Level is good. A significant increase, and a reinstatement of staff and programs, would be better!

If I had been trying to turn something off, I would maybe get it. But I was trying to turn something ON. Sheesh.
