La mobilisation semble avoir porté ses fruits : bien qu’aucune communication officielle n’ait eu lieu à ce propos, le sondage problématique sur l’antisémitisme dans l’enseignement supérieur semble abandonné.
Le sondage IFOP sur l’antisémitisme dans l’enseignement supérieur est stoppé
L’enquête commandée par le ministère de l’enseignement supérieur a été discrètement interrompue, vendredi 28 novembre, sans que qui que ce soit revendique la décision d’y avoir mis fin. Un recours devant le Conseil d’Etat a été déposé par plusieurs organisations syndicales, la Ligue des droits de l’homme et six enseignants-chercheurs.

Great to see the record corrected, but I don't think Laura and David need to say "sorry."
The culture change I wish we could have: Understanding that we all make errors, and incrementally improving the processes of social science to make them rarer.
This doesn't happen through "blame and shame."

A thread about being wrong:
5 years ago, we wrote a paper about how how newly enfranchised 16-year-olds vote in Austria. But we were wrong.
