YALE HAS A NEW PRESIDENT. “Yale University named Maurie McInnis, currently president of Stony Brook University and a Yale trustee, as its next president. McInnis, 58 years old, will take the helm of the New Haven, Conn., school in July. She will be the first woman to hold the role on a permanent basis.”

I don’t know much about her, but an Ivy League friend who actually follows these personnel matters is unimpressed: “I work with a lot of talented women. I don’t think she’s likely to join their rank.” Plus:

From her intro email, “I was welcomed into a community that valued curiosity, connection, excellence, and impact.” Like, okay, so does a gang?

“Our talented staff…bring excellence to all they do. Similarly, our students excel in their studies.” 1. I never put staff before students in communications. It’s tacky. 2. Was this written by Chat GPT? She’s a humanities PhD, and it’s terrible.

It’s getting easier for AI to replace humans, because the humans it would replace keep getting worse.

LOST WORK SECRETS OF THE PAST MILLENNIUM: Young People Have No Idea What We Used to Do After Work. Let Me Regale You. “The very idea that, once work hours were over, no one could get hold of you—via email, text, Slack, whatever—is completely alien to contemporary young people, who never let their cellphones leave their hands. Yes, it’s because they’re addicted, but it’s also because we’re all expected by bosses, co-workers, and friends to be online and available pretty much every time of day.”

One of the big changes since that era, of course, is that back then Slate, and even Salon, offered interesting reading.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: University Of California Professor Quits After Learning Her TA Would Be Paid More Than She Was. “As the instructor for both classes, Reiterman would be responsible for designing the course content, lecturing, and creating lessons plans for discussion sections, while her TAs would provide support by helping with grading or leading discussion sections, for example. Reiterman, who holds a Ph.D. and has taught as a part-time lecturer at the university since 2020, recommended a former student of hers who had just graduated with a bachelor’s degree and would be pursuing a master’s in education. But when administrators started the hiring process and copied Reiterman on the emails, she was shocked to learn that the teaching assistant would earn $3,236 per month — about $300 over Reiterman’s own monthly pay.”
