CUNY admins tell us they support academic freedom, but then they make us take this dystopian Title VI training designed to make us fearful in our classrooms that actually implies the exact opposite. Read the @cadhe.bsky.social statement about this two-faced position.

What Zohran Mamdani’s Win Might Mean for Higher Ed in NYC
The mayor-elect has said little about his plans for the city’s colleges and universities. But advocates, experts and students are making best guesses based on his rhetoric and track record.

Maybe the thing that gives me a pulse-pounding throbbing headache is when I think of how techbros sold ChatGPT to universities as ‘revolutionizing’ higher education and our institutions just forked over money without even asking for actual evidence
When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Step by step guide to higher ed crisis for Dem candidates giving stump speeches. This isn’t hard:
1) States cut taxes to serve the rich
2) with less revenue, they cut public higher ed budgets
3) with lower budgets, schools raise tuition and throw money at investments, athletics, and development

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
