Interesting... Yet still, so worrying 😔

Hoping this encourages UMich Ann Arbor TT faculty to follow Flint and MSU faculty (as they follow EMU and Wayne) by unionizing with the American Association of University Professors / American Federation of Teachers. www.aaup.org/chapter-orga...

In other fields, you will occasionally encounter Virginia Poly or UC Santa Cruz—less wealthy, less prestigious research universities that nevertheless have become dominant polls in their fields of scholarly production. In architecture, you have the Ivys and *maybe* 4-5 flagship publics. It's wrong!

I also want to collaborate with a team to mine academic architects' online bios to show the field's bias toward elite university education (particularly the Ivy League). I've started doing this in the past, but it needs a team (and folks who can scrape web data.) Architecture is notably worse.
