No one teaches us how to do p&t letters so these resources are extra valuable!

☑️ DONE I am glad to still be stretching myself in new, even if uncomfortable, ways & leveraging my expertise—hopefully—for positive public impact.

a timely & much-needed primer! journalistsresource.org/education/hi...

🚨BIG OLE NEWS🚨 After more than a decade away, we’re finally making our way back home! ihe.uga.edu/news/stories...

The IPEDs data are notoriously unpleasant to download. Urban Institute put together a portal to help. But, 2023 data aren't available through Urban yet. And, use the API at your own risk. educationdata.urban.org/documentation/

Funders incentivize X & Y; their generosity comes w/ expectations. What does this mean for cash-starved schools like many #HSIs? edoran.bsky.social & I hit on this in👇🏽 pub, concluding, among pts, that govt priorities incentivize irrationality—i.e., “HSIs may rationally pitch irrational projects.”

@drsaguilarsmith.bsky.social and I have a new pub out in AERA Open. We analyzed 400 abstracts of community colleges who received grants under the Title V Developing HSI program. This manuscript was so much fun to work on, and SAS is a dream thought partner. #HSIs #HigherEd #AcademicBluesky

The Trump administration is planning to cut the staff at the Education Department by about 50 percent. @liamknox.bsky.social and @jessicablake.bsky.social on what we know now about the layoffs. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

I happily spent the day reading & writing a way too long lit review. Tonight, I revisited the paper, including my RQs, realizing several of the pages I’d labored over today are somewhat out of scope. I almost got frustrated but instead reframed: I gifted myself a day of spring break reading.

Who here is hitting up @aeraedresearch.bsky.social this year?

the hope/belief that Musk is "breaking it to make it better" is um ... (looking for polite term)...politically naive

while we don't know where Minority-Serving Institutions yet stand, I remain steadfast thank you @saraweissman.bsky.social for covering --- and helping the SHEEO white paper (and the MSI Data Project dataset) live on! sheeo.org/wp-content/u...

wow. even while not surprised, i perpetually disheartened

🚨 NEW PUB ALERT 🚨 I believe in the power of grants to transform orgs & the field in powerful ways. Yet, competitive grantmaking can also recreate harm, regardless of funders’ good intentions. Cynthia Villarreal & I show this in our latest pub. Check it out. It’s open access👇🏽 lnkd.in/gE38UJn2

A recent report suggests tuition discounts for nearby out-of-state students to expand college access. @ceciliaorphan.bsky.social says that broad-access institutions often do much more for their communities than confer degrees. @saraweissman.bsky.social , @insidehighered.com

This piece is from a decade ago, but it's a great primer on federal indirect cost rates. It sparked a sketch on my potential papers list to dig deeper into it, but I never had the time or resources to do it.

This handy NIH explainer about why indirects are so important--that is why they are critical for the research enterprise-- is worth a listen. It directly contradicts the statement, and justification for the cut, it issued last night. nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2015/09/...

🚨My nerds: new preprint + data available to you starting now. Plz enjoy what I believe to be (other than tax stuff) the first large scale empirical dataset about the Federalist Society. Have fun! 😘 #LawSky #PoliSky #AcademicSky osf.io/preprints/so...

I don’t know what will be harder publishing a paper or potty training my kiddo. My bet is on the latter. Wish us luck. It’s could be a poopy day. 🥴
