Still 2 weeks to apply for this position! It’s to provide cover for me while I work on a research project, so I have lots of teaching materials I'm happy to share & the department can offer some extra funding for attending conferences, etc. Come work with us in @ceilteachomn.bsky.social next year!
Harvard pays McKinsey to tell it who to fire. The amount of money that universities waste on consultants to give them the veneer of objectivity to do what they were going to do anyway is likely shocking and would fund several tenure lines in the humanities: www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

#IWD2026 June1666 'E. Ormond' sends a letter to London. virtualtreasury.ie/item/TNA-SP-...
