New book chapter (book coming next year probably) on college major choice from me and Margaret Leighton. We survey a lot of literature and try to distill some insights. Hope you enjoy and learn from it! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xrf7t...

I’ll remind people for the 28th time that 81 was not a record of anything. 100 is the record.
It’s frustrating in an era where Republicans are so off base that the left can’t come up with any decent proposals either.
We don’t, but a friend in the UK does this at her school
Hilarious in Yesterday

IMO the more likely outcome is:
-keep tenure
-mandate tenured faculty have to do a review every X years
-we all have to do a lot of extra paperwork
-more committees to do those useless reviews
-occasionally someone tenured gets fired but not a big change from now
You could live here too! A new Senior Lecturer/Reader position to teach in our new Master of Public Policy Programme. Come build something great with me in a beautiful place!

Well the kid takes 9 months so you have to plan ahead
You have tenure. All it does it eat into your bluesky time.
Raise the kid yourself. I said challenge.

We‘re all doomed
I was notified today that I’ll be promoted to full professor in the fall. Thanks be to God.
I think I speak for us all when I say "I'm with Dan on this one"
Had a great "classic research" day in which I thought of some great new ideas and then found out they had all been done.
Also KW represents the 901 so go KW
I mean, I think the argument is that it’s a lot harder to run for that many yards in the Super Bowl than it is to kick field goals that any kicker in the NFL can kick.

There’s also the issue that at a publican institution, you have a huge variance in student quality so that it is difficult to design a class that actually challenges the good student students without failing a lot of people at the same time. So you end up making it easy and passing everyone.
There is also a lot of institutional incentive to pass people in order to raise on-time graduation rates. I think these are different pressures than what is driving Inflation in the Ivey league.
For instance, at my institution, I would say most of the grade inflation involves giving people passing grades who do not deserve it. Most faculty just find it easier to pass people rather than go through the trouble of trying to fail them and deal with the consequences.
