Hype for the Future 96/284: State Universities of the Commonwealth of Virginia
Introduction Within the Commonwealth of Virginia, a number of colleges and universities represents the Old South culture of the area. Though the College of William and Mary is the oldest in the Commonwealth and one of the colonial colleges, a number of locales elsewhere provide similar circumstances. Perhaps the most significant of the colleges beyond William and Mary is Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia (UVA), located firmly within the City of Charlottesville. Colleges and […]#HigherEd
"The university is worth more than £100m a year to Southend’s economy ... Small local businesses including cafes, bars, taxi firms and shops are braced for the loss of student customers." #HigherEd #AcademicSky #Essex #Southend #University #students
" the campus housed a GP surgery and a new dental clinic offering free treatment to local people. This was followed later by the forum – a library and art gallery shared by the university and local people." #HigherEd #AcademicSky #Essex #Southend #University #students
Essex University, Southend campus closure:
800 students and staff afected.

Well, just learned that one of my classes will be canceled because of low enrollment, even though it has already met once (something that would have been unthinkable, even last year). Dominoes are falling even faster than expected. #AdjunctLife #USPol #HigherEd

https://newrepublic.com/article/205897/trump-higher-education-attack-women
The administration’s assault on colleges and universities is meant to undermine the economic and social progress women have made in the last half-century.

Another reminder why I hate campus "Greek" organizations and think should be outlawed.

Hype for the Future 95G: Notable Colleges and Universities in the State of Ohio
Introduction The modern State of Ohio is largely determined by the colleges and universities scattered throughout the state. The Northwest Ordinance has been particularly influential, with Ohio University a clear descendant of the history of the Northwest Ordinance. The College Township has also been influential in the modern State of Ohio, eventually resulting in the formation of Miami University. The information in this post largely pertains to public four-year institutions and private […]

#HigherEd figures from #Duke, #Harvard , #UCLA & #Yale reveàled as chums amongst #EpsteinFiles in latest doc drop.
#DOJ released a new batch of 3 million pages from #JeffreyEpstein case, revealing correspondence with prominent figures at top tier schools even after his 2008 conviction with name-drops including figures from #Kinsey Institute having lunch with Epstein and a former Israeli PM.
Latest doc dump includes over a half dozen top #academics in trove, prompting some #Edu institutional embarrassment.
Amongst those shown to have years of sporadic contacts are a prominent #Connecticut school's computer science professor David Gelernter, who was infamously injured after being targeted by #Unabomber Ted Kacynski, but later in life crafted correspondence casually chatting with the convicted sex offender regarding female students on campus he had working for him.
A controversial Duke "behavioral economics" professor named David Ariely who wrote an advice column in #WSJ for a decade is mentioned 636x, although he had previously confirmed only two meetings with Epstein, despite documents that now show at least seven personal interactions.
Others newly named include some top Harvard donors and academics along with those previously mentioned such as former #SocialSciences dean Stephen M. Kosslyn, "Evolution Center" director Martin Nowak and #LarrySummers.
#Florida police first began investigating #Epstein in March 2005 after a 14-year-old girl reported being molested at his home not far from Mar-A-Lago. Eventuallly arrested after a probe in 2006, he pleaded guilty to lesser prostitution charges through a non-prosecution agreement arranged by future #Drumpf admin official Alex Acosta in June 2008. By mid 2019, under add'l media scrutiny, #Epstein himself was found dead in a detention cell in #Federal custody while awaiting trial on new sex #trafficking charges.

I only add to the list when I stumble across things or when people make suggestions. I haven’t done any intentional research; I don’t even know what search terms I’d use, since “para-academic” hasn’t been enshrined & “alt-academic” has multiple conflicting meanings. Feel free to share & make suggestions, thanks!
Do most people know that a ‘good’, 'full-time', 'permanent' job in #STEM #research is often just a constant search for part-time, temp jobs called ‘grants’?
This very short article explains the increasingly #softMoney model of #science in #higherEd:
https://grad.uw.edu/advice/debunking-myths-about-tenure-track-positions/
"Some universities paid the government millions of dollars; others paid nothing but agreed to policy or personnel changes. But a common theme has emerged over the past year: The administration is seeking to alter the culture at these powerful institutions, barring them, for instance, from supporting programs aimed at diversity, equity and inclusion."
