Anonymity and the Erosion of Kindness

Throughout the year, we all have particular events that mark the passage of time. Birthdays, holidays, special events. As professors, we have a few unique days too: some fun, some not. There's the first day of classes, where we still (20+ years in) get the jitters. The last day of classes, when we are often just as, if not more excited, than the students. And then there is the day our course evaluations arrive.

It's Starting to Look Like AI Has Killed the Entire Model of College

Well before "AI" had entered the lexicon of evening newscasters, the university model of higher-education was in trouble. Between 2010 and 2022 - the year ChatGPT came out - university enrollment dropped nearly 15 percent throughout the US.

Trump has sued universities for billions. Here's what the strategy tells us

A year ago, President Trump issued an executive order that put U.S. universities on notice. The Jan. 29, 2025, directive targeted antisemitism on campus and launched investigations at five schools later widened to 60. But within weeks of the executive order, federal agencies started withholding billions of dollars in contracts and grants from several high-profile schools and pressuring them to align their policies more closely with Trump's on a range of issues that extended beyond antisemitism.

That law said community colleges can develop up to 30 bachelor's degrees per academic year, as long as the degrees do not duplicate the baccalaureate programs of the University of California and California State University.

While everyone is subject to their individual situations, for many, the process begins with an F-1 student visa, which they hold as they complete a Ph.D. over five to six years. After graduation, they may choose to transition to Optional Practical Training (OPT), which provides a year of work authorization, with a two-year extension for STEM graduates. Some may then transition to a H-1B temporary work visa, which provides for three years of work authorization and is renewable for another three years.
