https://hachyderm.io/@ethanwhite/109916601872299874 The Florida legislature just proposed a higher education "reform" bill and it is terrifying 🧡

1. "post-tenure review of a
faculty member at any time"
2. "board of trustees may... review any faculty member's tenure status."
3. Faculty hiring done by the politically appointed board of trustees who are "not required to consider recommendations or opinions of faculty"

Howdy all, I know its #REU application season, so I thought maybe it would be helpful to share some tips I wrote down back in 018. I've had 2 REUs (USDA and then NSF) and then a summer assistantship abroad, so hopefully some of my experience is helpful!

Good morning Denver. Onward to #AMS2023 !
This is a nice thorough review of US higher ed costs, tuition through 20th c, and competing economic theories of drivers of escalation of those across sectors. Some aspects missing (health ins cost? access of higher ed to broader population), but interesting stats to ponder and incorporates cuts in appropriation, tuition discounting, and the contours of debt, some of which may surprise you. https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2022/12/19/why-production-cost-and-resentment-rising-opinion
Why production cost and resentment is rising (opinion) | Inside Higher Ed

The reasons why higher ed costs so much to produce also explain why historical esteem for higher education has shifted to resentment, write Bruce A. Kimball and Sarah M. Iler.

1. My best #journalism this year:

Not long ago, I wrote a story about #forests. Every scientist said we’re losing them to #climatechange faster than expected. So #NationalGeographic, at my urging, dedicated its entire May issue to the future of forests.

We found that around the world, in places like #Yellowstone, #trees are burning but not regenerating. Forests are transitioning to something new. Some will never be the same. Others may never come back.
