It's strange that #UNL wants faculty in eliminated departments to put together annual performance review documents for themselves. My plans for next year simply say "find a new job". #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK

This is what could have been at #UNL rather than eliminating departments. The Regents would not take the time to examine it. #Nebraska #Huskers #LNK thebugeater.com/board-of-reg...

Unbelievable. A University shutting down a Department of Statistics in this day and age highlights the sheer incompetence of its governance. @amstatnews.bsky.social @instmathstat.bsky.social @canssi-incass.bsky.social My thought is with all the members of the Department in this difficult moment.

There is definitely "no place like Nebraska": U. of Nebraska-Lincoln (@unlincoln.bsky.social) is recommending the elimination of my Dept. of Statistics along with 5 other departments and other cuts. These recommendations include laying off 50+ tenured faculty--no other university does this. 1/
