But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus

But last year, I finally encountered the university first-hand, […]

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

Improved Approximation Guarantees for Groupwise Maximin Share Fairness
Georgios Amanatidis, Anna Korfiati, Evangelos Markakis, Christodoulos Santorinaios
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.04731 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.04731 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.04731
arXiv:2606.04731v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the problem of fairly allocating a set of indivisible goods to a set of $n$ agents with additive valuation functions. We focus on the very demanding notion of \textit{groupwise maximin share fairness} (GMMS), which requires that each agent $i$ receives value comparable to their maximin share, where the latter is computed \textit{with respect to any subset of agents that contains $i$}. We show that it is possible to compute $(\phi-1)$-approximate GMMS allocations in polynomial time, where $\phi \approx 1.618$ is the golden ratio). This improves on the previously known guarantee of $4/7$ of Chaudhury et al. [SICOMP; 2021] and Amanatidis et al. [TCS; 2020]. We propose a simple algorithm that maintains the same main properties as the Draft-and-Eliminate algorithm of Amanatidis et al. [TCS, 2020] and we improve on the approximation guarantee analysis by carefully bounding the relevant value within any subinstance induced by the restriction of our allocation to a subset of agents. Our analysis is asymptotically tight for algorithms that share these properties and has the additional benefit of giving improved guarantees for restricted settings; in particular, when the agents agree on the top $n$ goods or when the number of agents is small. To illustrate the challenges of going beyond the guarantees of our algorithm, we also present a variant with an improved approximation of $(\sqrt{10}-1)/3 \approx 0.72$ for the case of three agents. To achieve this improvement we partially characterize the maximin share guarantees of short picking sequences for a small number of goods.
