We shouldn't be basing higher ed decisions solely on numbers like these because higher ed isn't a business, but we *definitely* shouldn't let people use 'run higher ed like a business' as a pitch and then bury the numbers that show they're killing profitable programs.
Yes! I was annoyed enough by this that I actually submitted a response on their "Suggest a Word" form. "Concomitant" is a perfectly cromulent word, especially if you're going to accept words like "cichlid"

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
My specific experience is with NIH, but Iβll stand up and say it:
The people who work at NIH are together one of the great wonders of the world. US biomedical science, cancer cures, dementia research all are built on their talent and dedication.
so this is a crime against humanity not a study we all agree right

I donβt mean to sound extreme, but I donβt think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Yeah, even without scrutinizing the means and SDs stats, the overrepresentation of sample sizes ending in '0' or '5' is an immediate flag. π€₯
My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why heβs so strong on it: βBecause weβre always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means itβs not about disliking immigrants. Itβs about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And thatβs a bad human instinct.β
I mean we are absolutely in a place now where the only solution to this information disorder is for everyone to constantly evaluate the source of information. Never trust a chatbot, but also don't believe a video unless you know and trust where it comes from.
Unfortunately... that's a lot of work.
Amazing! They're so lucky to have you!
My wife is going to be teaching Intro to Counseling/Intro to Psychotherapy next semester. Does anyone have slides they'd be willing to share with her?
