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

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:
