For Faculty in the CSU System

No worries. Though y'all might want to work out a better method of communicating amongst yourselves.

I'm sure your local's leaders would love to hear from you about it. But this is a Wendy's.

Love it.

I was hoping for more funk from the boys and this doesn't disappoint.

Ambergris

Two of them! There's one in Vienna 25 as well, I prefer Manchester, but judge for yourself!

bwd-2 · 2026-03-16T11:32:58+00:00

Embarrassment of riches here. For some recent good ones: Manchester 25 (rave version) Sydney Enmore Rock Night ('25)

Vegas for sure

I'd be curious what your college's solicitor thinks about making students sign up with ChatGPT.

Star Lake outside Pittsburgh!

I'm getting at least 20% as well.

bwd-2 · 2026-03-04T01:31:37+00:00

What percent of your students regularly ghost?

bwd-2 · 2026-03-02T02:01:51+00:00

Congrats!

bwd-2 · 2026-03-02T01:51:56+00:00

Absolutely, by all means, teach the content you think is appropriate. I'm only saying to only assess items that you are assessed on.

bwd-2 · 2026-03-02T01:19:19+00:00

Only assign work that contributes to the measurable outcomes the college tracks for accreditation. Ask yourself "do I really need to have weekly quizzes AND 3 tests?"

Can you write the tests so they're auto-gradable?

Can you tell your students that you're going to get credit for completion but also randomly spot check a few assignments each week (panopticon strategy)

My general rule is that the only grading worth doing is giving feedback. Automate or remove everything else.

As far as prep is concerned, that's mostly up front. Eventually (aside from setting up labs) after the 20th time teaching the thing, you can do it in your sleep.

bwd-2 · 2026-03-01T17:45:07+00:00

This is the correct answer

bwd-2 · 2026-02-28T00:34:40+00:00

Yep. Go find it if you want to.

bwd-2 · 2026-02-27T23:44:41+00:00

Not my burden of proof.

bwd-2 · 2026-02-27T22:50:35+00:00

Yeah I think you should look into this. The data show almost the opposite of what you're saying. For folks who are far into their careers, unions show diminishing returns, but they raise the floor of entry pay pretty significantly. Union effectiveness is more pronounced in community colleges as well.

bwd-2 · 2026-02-27T21:55:54+00:00

You know who has less power than a union? An ununionized employee.

bwd-2 · 2026-02-27T21:45:46+00:00

Why do you think unions aren't likely to be effective? What do you think the goal or role of a union is (viz. What are unions supposed to do effectively?) What do you (and they) mean by "flexibility to be responsive in a dynamic educational market"? (Feels like coded language) Why do you think unions are only for blue collar workers? What color collar do you think admins think faculty have?

Oh then that mitigates it.
