Let me refresh your memory about this classic PhD dissertation from UT-Austin, Clapped Back Together: Healing Though Q***r Eco-Erotic Conocimiento, Puteria Praxis, and Wetty Pedagogy: https://rrpress.utsa.edu/items/986c9282-894e-471c-8f25-f68488aebf46

"....[D]ispensing with any and all structure clears a much smoother path towards earning a PhD than a course that is bogged down by rigorous and strict standards. The complete lack of constraint is what makes Dr. Folayan's PhD thesis so astonishing. Her subject is remarkably narrow and would typically be considered extremely low-powered for any research project, let alone a PhD. And her thesis does not actually investigate the experiences of her participants in a way that meets even the lowest bar for academic rigor. Instead, the methods are structured in a way that permits her to interpret evidence through a predetermined ideological and political framework that, conveniently enough, pre-emptively shields it from challenges of falsification.

This thesis cannot be considered research in any meaningful, scholarly sense."

We obtained a Cambridge PhD thesis—one of questionable academic rigor—that Dr. Arday examined and that was put under a new, five-year embargo just after the scandal about Dr. Arday broke.

Excellent information about student loan changes:

New repayment plans and borrowing limits go into effect soon.

Don't let this be you: Chris and Carolyn McAuliffe are in their 60s but don’t expect to retire anytime soon. **They’re still paying off their student-loan debt, which has ballooned to a half-million dollars.**

“I regret going to college,” said Chris, an engineer for a health insurance company.

When they earned their graduate degrees decades ago, the couple owed a combined $114,000 in student loans. With stable careers—Carolyn in nursing—they stayed on top of their monthly payments. Then they bought a house and had two children and money got tight, so they consolidated their loans and opted for a payment plan that lowered their monthly bill.

That extended the life of their loan, and compounding interest charges kept pushing up their balance.

Student loans are following more Americans into what were supposed to be their retirement years.

UCLA LAW School proudly disrupts and walks out of an event with the Department of Homeland Security’s head lawyer.
Would YOU want to hire lawyers like these who refuse to engage with viewpoints that differ from theirs?

"Industry-wide vulnerability to job displacement is approximately 6%, with the steepest risks in Information (18%), Finance and Insurance (16%), and Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (16%).
Occupations with high vulnerability to AI-driven job loss account for an estimated $757 billion in annual U.S. income, or about 7.5% of total labor income from wages and salaries. The occupations most vulnerable to AI are Writers and Authors (57%), Computer Programmers (55%), and Web and Digital Interface Designers (55%) in terms of proportion of jobs affected. The greatest total income loss falls on Software Developers, Management Analysts, and Market Research Analysts/Marketing Specialists — reflecting both their high salaries and the volume of workers affected."

AI is set to upend America’s white-collar map, putting 9.3M jobs and up to $1.5T in income at risk—especially in wired, high-skill hubs.

"Iranian leaders call the US the “Great Satan” and burn effigies of President Trump in the streets, but that doesn’t stop them from sending their kids here to learn — and to teach.

Children of regime leaders and bigwigs are at prestigious universities across the US, including the University of Massachusetts, New York’s Union College and George Washington University, The Post can reveal.

Sources said allowing people linked to the regime to assume such influential positions could present a threat to US values."

Children of Iranian regime leaders work as professors in the US
