Exhaust_FumesA long time ago, i had a provost who wrote a column for Inside Higher Ed. It was…well, it earned quite a lot of attention from Academic Twitter. And this perfect parody by the late great William Bradley: https://www.sundresspublications.com/stirring/archives/v17/e12/bradleyw.htm #highered #highereducation #academia #academicchatter
I’m thinking about this time because it is happening again to younger scholars now under possibly even more opportunistic crisis-mongering. We are asked to cut budgets (support staff, adjuncts, release time) & consolidate departments. But our provost isn’t writing facile offensive cruise analogies about higher ed.

Jonathan Dresner@VCP I remember that one! Classic
