Over and over, scientists worried that the instability would harm their ability to train the next generation. “When you don’t have steady state funding, people can’t plan for the future,” one told me. “If people can’t plan for a future, then no one has a future.”

some quotes that illustrate the divide in the meeting, via the Stanford Report. ultimately the senate voted 21-13 to keep the 2020 censure.

here's my story from earlier in the year on the proposal to reverse it, when it first came up for a vote: www.chronicle.com/article/stan...

Of the three "data science" courses examined, "YouCubed uses the least mathematics," the UC's math workgroup writes in a newly released report.

Math news: A University of California workgroup just confirmed an admissions panel's decision (from July) that "data science" classes don't validate the UC's algebra II requirement—specifically, Youcubed, Introduction to Data Science, and CourseKata. senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/commi...

Also, Harvard wants to publicly post a minimally redacted version of its 1,200-page investigation into the four studies of Dr. Gino's. Her team was on board — then backed out, according to Harvard. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Harvard just filed a partial motion to dismiss Francesca Gino's lawsuit against it, saying that she failed to state claims for breach of contract and defamation, among other things
