This report on "the state of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences" by an impeccable group of scholars convened by Vanderbilt and WashU is among the most important pieces I've read re higher education and flaws that must be addressed. @HdxAcademy

More analysis here. Universities will not regain credibility until they also examine their own failings. chronicle.com/newsletter/the…

“The reason these schools are adopting institutional neutrality should never be forgotten, but it is the correct policy.”
I wrote about the institutional neutrality trend for @TheHillOpinion:

BREAKING: The President and Provost of Cornell have committed to not commenting on social and political events:
“In furtherance of institutional neutrality and deference to the many and diverse views in the Cornell community, the President and Provost will refrain from opining on national or global events that do not directly impact the university.”

Very glad to see this message from @Tulane leadership hit my inbox, asserting a commitment to institutional neutrality and free expression:

"...Faculty for Yale argue that [Yale] must return to its original mission & “insist on the primacy of teaching, learning & research as distinct from advocacy & activism”....that this is now considered brave dissent is dismaying."

Interim Harvard President Alan Garber is expected to announce a working group that will consider a policy of institutional neutrality, a move that comes following months of controversy embroiling the University.

“I think there’s something up in academia, but whether it’s enough to turn the tide, I don’t know.” @NAChristakis to @RikkiSchlott, @NYPostOpinion nypost.com/2024/02/20/us-new…

agree. this should go without saying. activism can be admirable but not all activists agree with one another & a university president should not presume to be speaking for 100% of their faculty. this is not only inaccurate, it is coercive & undemocratic showboating.
Faculty group calls on Yale to make teaching distinct from activism
There is important distinction between university president speaking on their own behalf (which they clearly can do, ideally judiciously) and when they speak on behalf of the university. yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/…
