“Closing the Writing Center and removing its leadership now sends a disturbing signal about how seriously Harvard actually takes [its] mission.” Closing a writing center or library or dept or program or university press—an attack on one is an attack on all. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

the history of art is not one of continual evolution into higher and better forms; there is debasement as well as refinement, and a novelty, even a transformation, may as well be bad as good. raymond williams

No, Tyler. Im angry because I know you know that the lack of public trust in US universities is the result of DECADES of media and political efforts--of which your whole grift is part. Quite the gall to be part of destroying public trust and then turn around and point to the lack of public trust.

Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper · 5h What’s striking about the academics who are hysterically opposed to more ideological diversity in academia is that they have no plan for regaining public trust and don’t even seem to think they need it. Their only strategy is complaining that the media and right are mean to them. Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper · 5h I think increasing the representation of non-progressive ideas in academia is a necessary (though not sufficient) condition for regaining public trust. If you disagree, fine. But most of the people melting down have no alternative theory about how to regain public confidence. Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper In fact, the bulk of angry responses seem to tacitly turn on the idea that public trust isn’t something academics should have to lower themselves to care about. The public owes the Ivory Tower trust and money, but that same public should also have no say in what goes on there.

Tenure is earned within an employment agreement. It *confers* privileges. Saying tenure itself is a precarious gift that can be removed capriciously is a fundamental upending of the concept of tenure.

a) college is not trade school. the point is not only to get a high paying job b) this will destroy fields like social work and librarianship, which are super important but wildly underpaid even though they often require advanced degrees in part because they’re “care” jobs primarily held by women

If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans. But is a degree just about making more money?
