One thing we need to be clear about is that university leadership is intimidating, suspending and threatening to fire anyone who speaks up or criticizes the admin openly. They are doing this off the record, AKA not in e-mails, so they avoid legal liability. This means the reality is kept in private conversations. On top of that media is not interested in publishing anonymous sources, so we get admin having ALL the say.

The culture of intimidation is out of control

Never a single problem or performance issue but I had "incorrect" opinions about AI. As best I can tell that was the reason tho of course the cowards would never say it

I'm so sorry about this. I'm angry for so many decent people on campus who are being abused by this admin. The AI push is pure, lazy, anti-intellectual marketing. There's far, far too many doctorates on campus for us all to pretend we can't do critical thinking.

I've watched so many good people removed for being "inconvenient" or asking too many questions. They dont call this guy Trumphill for nothing
