Ignore the nattering nabobs of negativism.
TU is far into the best quadrant of American universities based on institutional resilience (considering demographics, AI vulnerability, endowment per student, selectivity, outcomes and more)!
@StacyLeeds3 upward. R1 or bust!
I mapped 1556 4-year colleges in U.S. higher education along two dimensions (institutional resilience & post-college market position (which includes demographic cliff)) using 8 indicators from federal data along with a new AI exposure measure. Search for your school on the site below:

On David Holt, mayor of Oklahoma City: "He's the only type of Republican that can probably win anymore in Oklahoma City."

Dude already changing his language because of democrat sweep
People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

We need to build 1 million of these.
This could have been us. Total Chad move. The kind of flex of schools boosted by those sweet full tuition-payers from Acela corridor/Texas/Atlanta corridor. This could have been us... still can be. Define Great Books imaginatively but nod to canon. Lock and load.. @stacyleeds!
Some higher-ed good news: Clemson is launching a new department based on the Great Books, with up to 120 scholarships a year and a Socratic tutor for each student. C. Bradley Thompson reports on The Lyceum—and on profs putting teaching first again: city-journal.org/article/cle…

Since this account obviously cares about engagement gonna drop a Q that will surely get hurricane nation riled up: should our Econ program be split into a conventional cluster and a political economy one, where the heterodox economists reside?

"We’ve got money in the bank. We’ve got NIL. We’ve got rev share. There’s no reason we can’t compete with the Oklahoma States and Kansas States of the world." — Tulsa HC Tre Lamb
Burned by the stove of hot button issues, a lot of colleges are rediscovering a tolerance for free speech.
In the clip below, a TU community member expresses a truly, beyond outrageous take. Do we cancel him? No. We are a town square, reasoning together. #Tulsa
I asked @CoachTreLamb9 his thoughts on expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams.
“Have you ever been to a college football game? There's not one thing meaningless about any game that's ever played.”

This is the kind of trash talk I'm looking for

The UCLA athletic dept lost $52 mil last year and $83 mil in 2024 when including campus subsidy. There's a notion that Power 4 athletics is awash in cash, but outside of roughly 15 programs that are breakeven, universities hemorrhage money in their sports program.

Our demographic future is relatively bright-don't let anyone scare you away from ambitious growth for @utulsa! Our best students will have other options. It's improve or perish
Regarding higher ed and the demographic cliff, it’s worth noting that population projections for each state are different.
The South as a region is expected to see a 3% increase in high school graduates.
New York is projected to see a 27% decline.

We offer a traditional college experience with great academics. We need to be aggressively recruiting capable students from more expensive parts of the country (or with limited spots at instate flagships).
Several have DM's asking for my thoughts on the tuition cut. Honestly, our biggest problem is a failure to recruit aggressively recruit capable and resourced out of state students the way schools like Miami of OH, Syracuse, Lehigh and recently SEC schools have.

Hired in 1972-new coach LaVell Edwards @BYUfootball sent Dave Kragthorpe to study Tulsa's inovative passing offense under FA Dry-we know the result. 30 yrs later @TulsaFootball hired son Steve who turned TU around-a full circle. Dave has now joined Steve in heaven. RIP gentlemen.

The University of Toledo (actually a great school) is an R1 university. Let that sink in when local hayseeds tell you it's too ambitious for Tulsa. They want your city, your alma mater, your degree and your athletic programs to fall behind.
New federal data shows The University of Toledo offers the lowest net price among Ohio's public R1 universities while remaining one of the nation's elite research institutions. bit.ly/4pr6xUB
A UToledo education delivers national recognition, world-class research and an outstanding return on investment.

If cheap tuition helps us do that great, but I don't love the quality signal this projects. It compromises our ability to price discriminate and it seemingly didn't get that much national coverage, sadly (which could have changed my mind)
