faculty_hiring: Faculty hiring networks (Comp. Sci., Business, History)
Three networks of faculty hiring in Computer Science Departments, Business Schools, and History Departments. Each node is a PhD-granting institution in the respective field, 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 (2011-2013). All data collected from faculty public rosters at the sampled institutions.

On Friday Oct. 10, MIT President Sally Kornbluth formally rejected the Trump administration's proposed compact in an email to the U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
This decision came after mounting pressure from many MIT organizations, students and faculty alike, that called on the Institute to formally reject the compact.
MIT is the first university to openly decline the compact.

There are many key lessons for higher education in @…'s Enshittification. One is about mission:
"...the double edged nature of vocational awe. Sure Googlers [faculty] had been willing to pull long hours, putting work before personal life and health, in order to realize the company's [university's] mission, but the quid pro quo those workers expected was for the company [university] to take that mission as seriously as they did."

Chancellor Thomas Gibson is offering a challenge to #UWM faculty and staff: Raise a total of $1,000 by the end of this week, and he will match with a $1,000 gift. Visits to the UWM food pantry rose more than 41% from September to October, as the federal government shutdown cut paychecks and certain government benefits and demand is expected to spike in the coming days as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are interrupted.
It's a good cause.

Sonnet 122 - CXXII
Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain
Full charactered with lasting memory,
Which shall above that idle rank remain,
Beyond all date, even to eternity:
Or, at the least, so long as brain and heart
Have faculty by nature to subsist;
Till each to razed oblivion yield his part
Of thee, thy record never can be missed.
That poor retention could not so much hold,
Nor need I tallies thy dear love to score;

For now, here's where I am on student LLM-use:
1) The contemporary university's primary social function is certification.
2) Prompting LLMs does not require a degree. For universities, this is existential.
3) Admin tell faculty - academic freedom! - that we alone (without any support) can solve the problem. We can integrate LLMs or track down their illicit use.
4) My job is to teach, not to police students or hawk the hype. So I teach those who want to learn and …

Faculty will accept all kinds of deeply objectionable policies without lifting a finger. Tell us we can't spend more than $X on a glass of wine, though, and we will burn the institution to the ground.

#genai #datascience #academia #academicSky
My mother is incredible.
We like to joke that she is a model #immigrant:
- She came to the #US fleeing from the war in #Ukraine, with no further plan besides getting to me and my husband in at least temporary safety.
- We had to run a crowdfunding campaign to help her and the kids sustain themselves as they waited for their #TPS immigration paperwork to process.
- Once her work authorization came through, she somehow managed to get a job as faculty at #Cornell - and started their #Ukrainian program, teaching the language and Ukrainian history for the first time in the university’s curriculum.
- Now she’s been accepted to academic conferences, publications, and has joined the board of the refugee support organization in #Ithaca that helped her get settled there herself.
I’m so proud of her. Y’all should read this article, it’s pretty good: https://www.ithacawelcomesrefugees.org/giving-from-abundance-krystynas-journey-to-becoming-an-iwr-board-member/
