The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history.

We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.
I don't disagree that the US university business model was/is fragile, but surely not for this reason?

There is no society in the history of humanity that has successfully built a good university system without massive govt subsidies. US had already pushed the idea very far.

After Hazel sent my glasses skittering glass-side-down across the tiled floor at my parents’ house, I needed a new pair. They arrived today!

Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:

As awful as the next 4 years will be, we can cling to morbid curiosity about:
- when will Musk/RFK Jr. get booted?
- which cabinet member turns on him first?
- will Melania even bother trying?
- will Trump do "the weave" for his inaugural?
- does he let the J6ers just rot?
- how bronzed will he be?

Hey y’all! I am a feminist millennial sociology professor stuck in NE Ohio. I love my dogs, spouse, and Tex Mex.

Fun facts about me: I exclusively wear toe socks. My dogs are brown. I enjoy bananas. I recently bought a pair of overalls with humping caribou on them.
