The Florida legislature just proposed a higher education "reform" bill and it is terrifying 🧵 1. "post-tenure review of a faculty member at any time"2. "board of trustees may... review any faculty member's tenure status."3. Faculty hiring done by the politically appointed board of trustees who are "not required to consider recommendations or opinions of faculty"https://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/999/BillText/Filed/PDF

Just passed by the Florida legislature:"A Florida... state university may not expend any state or federal funds to promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that... advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion." https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/266/?Tab=BillTextThe governor will no doubt sign it shortly. Another bad day for #HigherEducation in #Florida.

My 13 year old is currently cleaning up my university’s promotion and tenure template to use things like headings, consistent margins, and consistent fonts. Which tells you both how awesome my kid is and how terrible my university is.

"the German publishing giant Axel Springer ... is suing Eyeo, makers of Adblock Plus, on the grounds that changing HTML to block an ad creates a 'derivative work' of Axel Springer's web-pages...Axel Springer's filings cite the Sony/Datel case, using it to argue that their IP rights trump your property rights, and that you can only configure your web-browser, running on your computer, which you own, in ways that it approves of." - @pluralistichttps://pluralistic.net/2024/07/29/faithful-user-agents/
