I am experiencing trauma merely being CCed as a Co-PI on some emails with IRB officials on a third-party non-medical data transfer. NON-MEDICAL!

as a reminder, here is the Linguistics subfield personality test:
* experimental linguists: DMV employee, but language
* phonologists: band geek, but language
* semanticists: stoner hackers, but language
* syntacticians: BDSM doms, but language

if your student tells you they want to be an experimentalist when they grow up and you don't immediately follow up by grilling them about how much they enjoy paperwork and following minute often arbitrary instructions, some of which are unknowable, you are doing them a great disservice

Hell yeah it is

The decision is a win for UCLA faculty who have pushed for more transparency in the negotiations over the future of the nation's premier public university system. UC has until the end of the day to disclose the 28 pages of federal demands for far-reaching policy changes at UCLA that are in line with President Trump's vision for higher education.

The University of California has made a last-minute plea to the California Supreme Court, asking it to block a lower court order that UC release a roughly $1.2-billion Trump UCLA settlement proposal to faculty: www.latimes.com/california/s...

UC asks California Supreme court to block release of Trump's UCLA settlement offer

UC on Thursday asked the California Supreme Court to block the release of a UCLA settlement proposal sent by the Trump administration in August. It outlines a $1.2-billion fine and vast campus changes...

A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story.

First panel:
Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“
Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!”

Second panel:
Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!”
Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!”

Third panel:
Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!”
Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!”

Fourth panel:
Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!”
Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

The UC Regents have so far refused to release the demand letter UCLA received from the Trump admin. @uclafa.bsky.social sued for its release last week and won. Glad to see that yesterday a judge rejected UC’s appeal of the decision. www.latimes.com/california/s...

• UC must publicly release a
Trump administration
settlement proposal by Friday after losing its appeal to keep the document private.
• UCLA faculty succeed in their lawsuit demanding transparency.
• The proposal includes demands for stricter admissions policies and campus protest restrictions, among other demands.

Last month, the UCLA Faculty Assn. sued UC after the university rejected its public records requests. The association is an independent organization unaffiliated with the Academic Senate, the body that formally represents all UCLA faculty in relations with campus administrators.
