Yet more about professorial despair, disgust, and distrust. I keep reading these articles because they affirm @cuny.edu reality and sometimes offer actionable approaches. I really like the video responses idea. #academicsky www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for powerful, incisive analysis @hakantopal.info. "An art school, college, or university . . . produces . . . a capacity for thinking, for argument, for questioning without a predetermined answer." #art school #academicsky #higher Ed
Yet another article about AI, teaching, and learning. Tiresome. Best are the comments in which faculty suggest good pedagogical strategies and confirm what we are all experiencing. But no answers for online teaching or the larger issues. #academicsky www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...
