It's cool that we let 28-year old nihilistic tech dipshits commit genocide as a treat. That's great. I love the tech industry.

I want groveling apologies. I want the ENTIRE tech industry, from junior programmers to CEOs, on their knees begging for our forgiveness and continuously, fervently apologizing for their sociopathic excesses. You are the worst humanity has to offer.

If we're going to have a death penalty it should be firing squad. 5 bullets to the head do quick work. There's no kind, compassionate way to kill someone. Let people see what it is that they support.

Is Harvard important? Yes. It’s it a useful reference point for understanding US higher education? Absolutely not. www.chronicle.com/article/high...

Now that I have tenure I can finally say this with my chest: boards of trustees/regents/etc. were a huge mistake and every university needs to dismantle them ASAP.

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

One way to look at this is that regents/boards that make the final decisions about universities are effectively political appointees or private moneyed interests determined to impose their ideological views on higher education. Attacking faculty governance is one way to do it.

At best they're unobtrusive rubber stamps. But now with an aggressive right-wing push to kill and control universities "let's give a bunch of rich people final say over everything we do" turns out to have some downsides!!
