Fight or Flight: The Impact of Post-Tenure Evaluations on Faculty Productivity and Selection 30 Pages Posted: 19 May 2025 Simon Quach University of Southern California Zhengyi Yu University of Southern California - Department of Economics Date Written: May 15, 2025 Abstract This paper examines the labor market effects of Florida's 2022 post-tenure review policy, which weakened tenure protections at public universities. Using a differencein-differences approach, we compare faculty outcomes in Florida to nearby states. We find the policy increased faculty exits-particularly among high-performing researchers-indicating a brain drain rather than improved selection. Additionally, we detect no productivity gains among incumbents and observe a decline in the research output of new hires. Overall, the findings suggest that reducing tenure protections negatively affects the research capacity and competitiveness of public universities.

So…about AI’s energy use…
“…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

The noise of cracking joints is just nitrogen bubbles bursting in the synovial fluid and is not harmful.

I just finished teaching it and thought the same thing!

Miles Grier’s “I want to get to the thing I don’t know so I won’t be bored by my talk” is a perfect motto for this conference for me. #Shax2025 #RSA2025

Moving speech by the thoughtful @ruben-espinosa.bsky.social during the #Shax2025 lunch- we know that teaching/studying the Early Modern has & can have real effects on our present moment. We have "a responsibility to bear witness" and to "be on the right side of history" based on our deep knowledges.

To kick off Women’s History Month, I’ll speak about Flora Carr’s The Tower tonight. It’s resilient women who suffer atrocities, and I’ve got things to say about that!
Of course my daughter is home sick. Here is a peek at my practice run, with a small child in a fairy costume doing acrobatics.
