petersuberGood points from Richard Thompson Ford, Stanford Law prof: <a href="https://www.chronicle.com/article/gutting-dei-wont-save-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.chronicle.com/article/gutting-dei-wont-save-us</a>"Lawyers across the political spectrum agree [that] the government cannot make giving up a constitutional right a condition of funding…Civil-rights laws do not permit the executive branch to run an extortion racket by withholding funding approved by Congress and then dictating terms for its return. Quite the opposite: Civil-rights laws require a careful, program-specific assessment to identify any violations, after which the Department of Education must give notice of its concerns and try to secure voluntary compliance. Only if such efforts fail may the department begin enforcement proceedings, which require it to submit a report to Congress 30 days before withholding funding. Even then, funds may only be withheld from the specific programs that violated the law. For example, the government can’t withhold grants from a medical school because of violations in the history department, much less, as in the case of Columbia, suspend a host of unrelated grants and contracts because of vaguely defined violations."<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Funding</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USLaw</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a>

Nick WalkerNew academic publication! The Elgar Encyclopedia of Queer Studies includes a chapter by me on Neuroqueer Theory.

Joseph MeyerCritical Thinking: The Other National DeficitMy wife bought me this t-shirt for my birthday several years ago, perhaps just before I retired from a career leading a team of researchers who conducted administrative policy studies at a large public university. Toward the end of my career, the university participated in a national test of college learning outcomes called the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA). Ideally, the CLA assesses the knowledge and skills of entering freshmen and then reassessed their knowledge and skills four years later to measure the educational value added in a true pre-post test. But, because we were in a hurry for results that could be published on a public dashboard to be used in a re-accreditation visit, we instead tested samples of entering freshmen and graduating seniors who had similar high school percentile ranks and SAT scores. Results showed the critical thinking skills of our graduating seniors, compared to entering freshmen, showed slightly less improvement than the national average for graduating seniors at other universities. University leaders were concerned about this finding and were discussing ways to improve at the time I retired.

Das ist für alle spannend, die sich für unterschiedliche Beteiligungsformate in der Forschung interessieren. <a href="https://fediscience.org/@jasemrau/114200842952071437" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fediscience.org/@jasemrau/114200842952071437</a>Registrierung: <a href="https://eu02web.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/3fFLSYVsRluLRGSuDmeDrg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://eu02web.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/3fFLSYVsRluLRGSuDmeDrg</a>Website: <a href="https://www.partizipation-wissenschaft.de/leitfaden-uebersicht/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.partizipation-wissenschaft.de/leitfaden-uebersicht/</a><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Leitfaden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Leitfaden</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Partizipation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Partizipation</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Forschung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forschung</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CitizenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CitizenScience</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PartizipativeGesundheitsforschung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PartizipativeGesundheitsforschung</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenScience</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenInnovation</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SozialeInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SozialeInnovation</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CoDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoDesign</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PartizipativeTechnikfolgenabsch%C3%A4tzung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PartizipativeTechnikfolgenabschätzung</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PartizipativeAktionsforschung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PartizipativeAktionsforschung</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PatientAndPublicInvolvement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatientAndPublicInvolvement</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Reallabore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reallabore</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LivingLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LivingLabs</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CommunityScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityScience</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Transdisziplin%C3%A4reForschung" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransdisziplinäreForschung</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PartizipativeWissenschaftskommunikation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PartizipativeWissenschaftskommunikation</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/PublicEngagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicEngagement</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Academia</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@schroep" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@schroep</a>

Martin RundkvistWhen a university department in the humanities is made dependent on big grants, it decreases publication bang-per-buck. Because the department's survival becomes decoupled from the quality and quantity of its research output. Grant hunting becomes a higher priority than research output per money. 2/2<a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a>

Martin RundkvistUniversity departments are supposed to produce research, so they compete for big grants. In natural <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a>, this is unproblematic because you can't really produce top-level research without big grants.In the <a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/Humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Humanities</a> however, you can. So the system of incentives is counterproductive here. The fastest way to get top-level publications out of a humanities scholar is not to make her compete for big grants. It's just to give her 75% research time. 1/2<a href="https://archaeo.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a>
